With the addition of Rudy Fernandez, it looks like it’s time to say goodbye to Roddy Beaubois. As quick and talented as he may turn out to be, there’s no room for Roddy on this roster.
We have to make assumptions to have this conversation in July. So many free agents in Dallas remain unsigned. Here’s the list:
The Ben and the Skin are major Deron Williams homers. They grew up here. Deron grew up here. His high school team played against their high school team. Or whatever. He’s a home grown player and they’re drooling over the possibility of a free agent signing in Dallas next year.
There’s only one problem. There’s not enough cash to go around.

Part of the scene yesterday at the American Airlines Center at the end of the Championship Parade, they played the official DFW Digs Dirk music video before a crowd of 20k+.

After rehabbing like a madman, Caron admits to wishing the NBA Finals were stretched to Game 7 so he’d have a chance to play. It’s got to be tough to want a championship so badly and then have to watch your team win it without you. Here’s hoping Caron and the Mavs go back and repeat next year!

Aaaaaaand… BREATHE! Mavs fans can finally exhale, knowing that Dirk is in the driver’s seat. Mavericks win Game 5, and head back to Miami today for Game 6 and Game 7 if necessary.
If I’m the Dallas Mavericks, I want to close out in Game 6. I give everything I have left to win it. Because it’s the only cushion they have.

Believe it or not, Kobe doesn’t think the world revolves around him. #stunned
I know, I know. We’re still in the heat of the playoffs. Round One. Mavs still have a chance to move on. But is it ever too soon to talk trades?
Six of the Mavericks 15 will be unrestricted free agents at the end of this playoff run. That’s almost half the team. So the question will be who to re-sign, who to trade, and who to let go. The Mavs have some serious holes, but contrary to popular belief, these holes could filled rather quickly if Donnie Nelson and Mark Cuban would get one things straight: Dirk is NOT a power forward.
Catch the recap of last night’s game right here.

Four Mavericks are averaging double digit scoring this series: Dirk, Kidd, Terry, and Peja. All it takes is for one Mav other than Dirk to get hot (Peja, Kidd, Terry, JJ) and this game is over.
Check out the remix of Game 4 below. Get that epic collapse out of your system and get your head back in the game. I know you’re reeling. Shake it off.
If the Mavs win tonight, they only need to win one out of two games. Chin up! Put your game face on!
