Homer News: Dallas Mavericks (32-20)

Hooped Up | February 16, 2010

Mavericks president: We’re ready to compete against Lakers
A seven-player weekend trade brought two-time All-Star guard Caron Butler, 7-foot center Brendan Haywood and guard DeShawn Stevenson to Dallas from Washington. Often promising and disappointing Josh Howard was sent with Drew Gooden and two others to the Wizards.

“This gives us a real chance to do some damage in the West,” said Donnie Nelson, the Mavericks’ president of basketball operations. “It’s like a nuclear arms race out here. From top to bottom, there’s 11 that look like they’re viable and eight that are going to make it. But we feel [the trade] gives us a real chance to take this next step.’

“Now I don’t know how many of you out there are going to pick us in a seven-game series against the Lakers, but in our opinion the guys in that locker room, we’re ready to lock horns with anybody. We feel like this solidifies us a little bit.”

Lee And Kidd Named Replacements For All-Star Game

Hooped Up | February 11, 2010

With the trade deadline fast approaching and every GM doing nothing but saber rattling on making moves thus far.  It’s been NBA commissioner David Stern that’s been doing all the front office shakin’ n bakin’ with regards to player movement — for the all-star game that is.

The Commish has been inserting replacements for the all-star game like an skilled general managing pro for the past two weeks and today after Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson were announced shelved for this weekends festivities. David Lee and Jason Kidd were selected as replacements. Read More »

Eduardo Najera To The Mavs

Hooped Up | January 11, 2010

In a not so earth shattering deal, the Mavericks have acquired Eduardo Najera from the Nets in exchange for Kris Humphries and Mavs headache Shawne Williams from the Nets. Owner Mark Cuban will save about $4.7 million on this deal plus a ton of aspirin.

On the down side, getting traded to a team prime to break the record for the most losses in a season has gotta hurt. On the up side, now Kris Humphries and Shawne Williams will have unlimited access to DJ Pauly D for their house jams.

Dirk Nowitzki The Unorthodox Dentist

Hooped Up | December 19, 2009

If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe.

First off I feel it’s my civic duty to say, gross! Now that I got that off my chest / keyboard. The Mavericks could be without the services of Dirk Nowitzki, after he lacerated his elbow colliding with Carl Landry’s mouth, leaving pieces of Landry’s broken teeth lodged into his arm. Like I said, gross!

This all when down in the 2nd quarter of the Rockets vs. Mavs game and according to the Houston Chronicle, it took 30 minutes to remove shards of Landry’s teeth from Nowitzki’s elbow. Both players ended up in the ER and did not return to the game. Houston won 116-108 in OT.

Nowitzki and Landry are listed as day-to-day and I just threw up in my mouth a little bit right now.

Mark Cuban Gets Put Through A Table

Hooped Up | December 8, 2009

On Allen Iverson night, Mark Cuban hosted WWE RAW and some dude named Sheamus (aka The Celtic Warrior) with a fantastic lemmy beard who I assume was still pissed off about France’s handball victory. Took exception to a peacock chested Mark Cuban and did what the SEC would like to do — send Cuban through a table.

Best NBA owner, EVER!

Will Mark Cuban Throw Down On RAW?

Hooped Up | December 4, 2009

Mark Cuban hosting WWE Monday Night RAW next week is hardly a side show, because practically everything this dude does is a side show. Him getting in the squared circle with Cody Rhodes on the other hand, would be the Zenith of cool as far as NBA owners go.

Last year, Mark Cuban feuded with Kenyon Martin’s mom. Next up: Dusty Rhodes’ son? The Mavericks’ owner, who will host World Wrestling Entertainment’s RAW on Monday at American Airlines center, shrugged off a challenge by up-and-coming WWE star Cody Rhodes on Thursday. Rhodes is the son of Austin-born Virgil Runnels, better known as WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Dusty “The American Dream” Rhodes.

All I know is If somehow Dusty “”The Bull of the Woods”" Rhodes makes an appearance and drops a Bionic elbow on Cuban. I’ll be in wrastlin’ heaven.

Swat: Kris Humphries Tells Randolph Hell Naw

Hooped Up | November 25, 2009

Somehow with only 6 players the Warriors were able to beat the Dallas Mavericks 103-111, but that win didn’t come by easy. Just ask Anthony Randolph who tried to cram a dunk on Kris “I’ll never pass it to you” Humphries, but found himself denied like you trying to pick up a hawt lady at the club.

My damn, Humphries gave this ball wings!
