Maybe the Dallas Mavericks can repeat in 2028 when the league decides that maybe fans want to see basketball again. For now, the Mavericks will be the last champs the league has ever know and this mathematically dope tee from the folks over at Freshnes breaks that down.

It give a shout out to Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion and the tiny 5’8″ island of JJ Barea.

The Mavs have proved that despite injuries to key players. They can keep pace with the rest of the western conference and rumors of their demise, have been greatly exaggerated. Maybe it’s because they don’t listen to their critics? Or maybe it’s just because they can’t hear their critics?

I certainly think it’s the latter when I watch Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler, JJ Barea, Shawn Marion, perform their favorite hit songs from the 90′s. Cause they all seem pretty tone-deaf.

Mavericks forward Shawn Marion will not play Friday night against theSacramento Kings, but he’s optimistic that it’s the last game that he will miss.

Marion sprained his left ankle in the opening moments of Monday’s win against theMilwaukee Bucks and didn’t return for the second half. He sat out Wednesday’s win against the San Antonio Spurs.

“Hopefully one more game and I’ll be good,” Marion said after the Mavs’ morning shootaround Friday. “It’s feeling better, but it still hurts.”

A lot of players went other places today as a four-way deal between Dallas, Toronto, Memphis and Orlando went down with Wal-Mart like logistics precision.

The Dallas Mavericks acquired four-time All-Star forward Shawn Marion from the Toronto Raptors in a multi-player, four-team trade, they said on Thursday.

Marion, forward Kris Humphries and center Nathan Jawai will join the Mavericks from the Raptors in exchange for guard Antoine Wright and forward Devean George, plus two-way cash considerations.

In related moves, the Orlando Magic sent prized free agent Hedo Turkoglu to Toronto for cash considerations from the Mavericks and Raptors while Dallas traded Jerry Stackhouse to the Memphis Grizzlies for fellow guard Greg Buckner.

Just for poops and laughter, I’m gonna try this deal on NBA 2K9 and substitute the two-way cash considerations for a first round draft pick to see if it works there too. Either way, I”m sure digital Jerry Stackhouse will be pissed he’s going to Memphis like real life Jerry Stackhouse probably is.
