sadly, my mavs are going to have a hard time defending their title.

They still need more pieces to contend for a championship. They need to solidify their two position. Billups won't cut it, if that's the route they choose to go.

Donald sterling will mess this up. Guy is the worst professional owner in all of sports.

When both guys go down simultaneously with a knee injury during the first game, their playoff dreams will go down as well.

It helps they place in the weakest division in basketball.

They will be entertaining for sure. Good? Maybe

Do they have cap to add more players? It will be interesting to see who they fill the roster out with and who they get in trades for Mo Williams and their trade exceptions. I also wonder if they'll keep Eric Bledsoe or flip him as well.

I love my boy DeAndre so I'm not gonna diss them too much, but who's their coach?

No it won't. Vinny Del Negro! An all time Spurs great.

And say what you want about Vinny, but i think we can all agree that the man has a hell of a head of hair.

Nope.

Butler's new contract, DJ's new contract, Paul's 16mm, Blake's 6mm, MoWill's 9mm and they are pretty much tapped out right there.

And this depth chart doesn't suck

C DAndre Jordan/Cook
PF Blake Griffin/Gomes
SF Caron Butler
SG Billups/Foye
PG Paul/MoWilliams/Bledsoe

Could use a little big man depth, but other than that, pretty solid.

Vinny Del Fuego as we like to call him.

Man, if they can flip Mo for a decent swing man, that's not a bad roster at all.

Other than DeAndre and maaaaybe Butler, they are really going to struggle defensively.

i thought for sure they were going to buyout billups now

Why would they buy him out if they just paid $2MM for him for the year?

think it has something to do with the way the new CBA is set up and amnestied players. Woj was saying it was gonna happen

Mo Williams is the name I'm reading that will be the likely amnesty candidate.

They wouldnt waste the amnesty clause on Williams as he has an expiring contract.

They have a ton of expiring contracts after this next year.

Williams gets $8.5 this year, and a player option next year for the same amount (according to Hoopshype).

Their only other realistic options are CP3, Griffin, and Ryan Gomes who makes less than half of what Mo Williams makes.

I think Mo gets amnestied.

DeAndre is going to have a monster season. He and Serge Ibaka are my picks for the breakout player this year.

If he can stay out of foul trouble.

Chris Paul is going to do for Deandre's career what he did for Tyson Chandler, he's going to be part of an unstoppable tandum, just imagine a taller more athletic tyson chandler with chris paul?

Tyson is pretty ridiculously athletic. He is also 2 inches taller than Jordan.

Tyson is 6'11.5 without shoes. Jordan is 6'9.
Tyson's no step vertical was 31". Jordan's is 26".

Jordan does have much longer arms, though.

They won't be nearly as good as the 2005 Suns but will be entertaining as hell. And the Clippers curse is hanging over everything. And theyll be constantly compared to the Lakers which will be fun

A little small in the backcourt and a little thin up front, but I like them as much as anyone else in the west. An LA Clipper-Oklahoma City western conference finals would be fun.

I think the winner of Miami-Chicago wins it all this year though.

Jordan was 6'9.75" at the combine. Both he and Tyson likely grew since their measurements, though. Both were measured fairly young.
