However, if you look at the talent that was on this squad, you'd find people that were labeled as busts because they couldn't be that #1 guy on the roster that they were though of by their previous teams. <br /><br />And if you look ahead at next year, if the Mavs can resign Marion, Chandler, and Barea, there is no reason that they can't be in the mix yet again to fight for that championship. <br /><br />Guards: Beaubois, Kidd, Terry, Barea, Jones<br />Forwards: Nowitzki, Marion, Butler, Cardinal<br />Centers: Chandler, Haywood, Mahimni<br /><br />Goodbyes to Stojakovic, Stevenson, and Brewer.<br /><br />That is one player that played significant minutes in the Finals that Dallas will let leave as a free agent. They have already said who they want to retain. Cuban blasted a post that Mahimni, Chandler, and Nowitzki have declared their intentions on returning next year instead of wanting free agency. And having your backup PG and Starting Small Forward coming back from injuries might be enough for this team not to become complacent.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471510250599641166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-3544549249206405962011-06-13T15:30:05.166-04:002011-06-13T15:30:05.166-04:00Well said again and that childish coughing stunt k...Well said again and that childish coughing stunt knocks him down further on the respect scale.<br />On a different topic: It could be argued (and this is not a dis on the Mavs in any way) that the Mavs winning this year is as big of an upset as any in the history of the league. Compare that roster, their history, their regular season standings to any other past champion and I don't think you'll find a less-likely champ, which is a credit to them as a team and the way they played.Zebsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684616018807468693noreply@blogger.com
