Some thoughts worth thinking version 1

LA CLIPPERS:

Davis/Sessions
/Telfair/Collins
Gordon/Butler
Thornton/Butler
Griffin/Smith
Kaman/Camby/Jordan

I marked the core with longer contracts (or probably extension like Thornton) if Sessions come. Next year a lot of old contract trash is gone (Madsen, Davis etc). Its a good core and the Sessions a nice security for Davis, but they also pay then almost 20mio a year for the pg spot. I miss the defense at 1-3. Also Thornton and Butler are horrible 1-dimensional.

I seriously hope that the Heat are able to pull out a trade for Boozer. Give them a 4 like that and maybe we'll have a better run at pulling Bosh next offseason. I know that some are against it, but I personally think that if you have a chance to pull that kind of talent then you jump on, regardless of the possibilities of it creating a logjam.

I really like Kleiza and think the Nuggets did a horrible job of using him. It'll be interesting to see who they replace him with. At least Wafer will be joining with Kleiza teamhim there too.

How did you become a Mavs fan?

So, how did you become a Mavs fan?

For me, it all began when Martin Müürsepp was traded to Mavericks (I'm Estonian). So after Müürsepp career in NBA and in Mavericks was over, I already loved this organisation. Then ofcourse Nowitzki and Nash arrived, with them teaming up Finley, I was sold.

Mavericks have even helped me out with my first job (I wrote my first articel as sport writer about Mark Cuban). Also made my high school research about Dallas Mavericks success of the last 10 years.

So I'm total MFFL!

I have always had this problem, that where to but Mavericks gear in Estonia. Same problem also in East and North Eruope. Last time I was in Germany i found some replica jerseys but nothing more. Usually ebay helps me out, but does anybody know some places in Europe, where you can buy Mavericks and NBA stuff?

Ths years NBA schedule was all but positive for Mavericks

When I look how many national games other teams have and how many Mavericks have then I'm quite mad. Spursi 20, Miami 14, Denveri 22 and even Suns with 18 games, Mavericks only with 11. I like to watch Mavericks games and for me in Estonia ESPN, ABC and TNT are main sources to watch live games, so I don't understand how so few games. They have now Marion and are still playoffs team. But no respect. Are they so boring?
