He didnt do that well in Miami and Toronto. Now he's going to play for Rick Carlile who is not an uptempo coach either. Your probably getting about 14ppg 6 rebounds from him max when he plays with Dallas. Thing is Marion is better in an uptemp style. He didnt do that well in Miami and Toronto.

Marion is a former all-star. He is a double double machine. I think that is overstating George’s value way too much.

Its all how Carlise manages this team and if age is a factor during the long season?The 5th Beattle, Devean George is Marion when given playing time Marion doesnt put Dallas over the hump, they maybe the same or little better than last season.

I think he's a good player, but one who runs his mouth better than he plays - one who's never won anything, either. He's just smug and arrogant, and not a difference maker, I feel.

While I like the addition of Gortat and Marion for the Mavericks I still don't know how far they will get. The problem I see with Dallas is they don't have a toughness to them. Anyone remember when New Orleans Forward, David West slapped Dirk and Dirk did nothing. I see Denver and San Antonio (healthy) ahead of Dallas.

I dont like Dallas's moves. They are very old and expensive. I dont think this lineup gets them to the Conference Finals. Marion will start complaining about his money after his first 25 PT game.

SA won't stay healthy, and I feel the RJ trade is going to be a huge bust for them. But I agree, Dallas made some very nice moves this off-season.
