.:D&D's Final Chapter:. • [0-0] • '13 Offseason Recap

[Rosque]

Flower Chick, out of 15 games I played 9 of them. Yeah, I have no social life And when the game is decided I just sim to the end. Kinda pointless to pad the stats and waste time when it's already over.

[Mark.]

Wow there were some solid offers in there for the Matrix. I probably would have bit on the Turner deal or the 2014 draft pick (if you are using real draft classes)

Great month for you. Sitting in a great spot right now.

[Rosque]

Mark., Matrix isn't going anywhere. He's gonna retire as Mav with Dirk. I was reluctant on that Turner deal but didn't want to lose two of my starters for Turner and Nick Young. Thanks. Next month is most crucial for me as it is my last one without Dirk.

DALLAS ♦ Hi Mavs fans. Whoa, what a season that was. We made it to the playoffs!That's the most important thing right now. Since my last update was on New Years Eve we have a lot of catching up to do. Firstly, we made a trade on trade deadline and shipped off Chris Kaman, Brendan Wright and 2013 2nd round pick to Oklahoma City Thunder for Kendrick Perkins, 2013 1st round draft pick, 2014 1st round draft pick and Daniel Orton. We made this trade as we felt we needed more interior presence in the middle as both Kaman and Dirk are offensive minded players. Perkins was great for us in the defense defending Howard, Lopez and other great centers. Something Kaman wasn't able to do. We finished with a record of 41-41. .500 straight. Last couple of weeks was tough as Kendrick has hyperextended knee and is expected to be out 1-2 weeks. Darren Collison broke his toe and will be out for 2-4 weeks. And our high-flying swingman Jared Cunningham has bruised heel and is listed as day-to-day, but will play in first game of playoffs. Biggest surprise is that BOBCATS made it to the playoffs as 6th seed.

Awards. None of our players got any awards. Little dissappointing but there are no real stars that were healthy for us. Below is list of players that got awarded for their play this season. There are couple of surprises. Larry Sanders didn't get DPOY but his teammates Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings got into 3rd All NBA Team/2nd All NBA Team. Instead of giving Most Improved Player award to Greivis Vasquez they gave it to Robin Lopez, but that was a close race till the end. Kobe didn't get his second MVP award even though he was running with that award all season long and LAL has best ranking in the NBA.

We wish luck to our guys in Oklahoma City against Thunder for First Game of 1st round in 2013 Playoffs.

Hmm... Bobcats making the sixth seed. Who is on the team?

DALLAS ♦ Hi Mavs fans. Playoffs are over. Unfortunately we were eliminated by Oklahoma City Thunder in first round. But we did put a good fight and won two first games on road and then lost the rest of the series. O.J. Mayo was our MVP of this playoff series. He was scoring at a high rate, 23 PPG. Nowitzki played limited minuted because he didn't feel good at times, but still managed to score 20.3 PPG and grab 5.2 rebounds. It's that he is slightly declining but he is still our go to guy in the last few minutes of a game. Another vet showed up big in playoff - Vince Carter. He was scoring 14.8 PPG and grabed 4.4 rebounds in only 23 minutes per game. Roddy Beaubois was our starting point guard since Collison got injured a week before playoffs. He was good with 11.3 points per game and 4.7 assists per game. We however did not pick his qualifying offer in the offseason and he signed with Miami Heat. Shawn Marion was focused on Durant and he kept him to only 23 points per game on 43 FG%. Perkins played only 25 minutes per game but he grabbed 5.5 rebounds per game and blocked 2 shots per game. Miami Heat got their second consecutive ring. LeBron James was Finals MVP with 29.1 PPG, 9.4 RBPG and 6 APG while shooting 50 % from the field.

7 players retired this year and that list contains of: Nazr Mohammed, Grant Hill, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, Rasheed Wallace, Marcus Camby, Kurt Thomas and our PG Mike James whom we thank for contribution. Ray Allen and Jason Kidd got in to the Hall of Fame.

We ended with two first round pick, 18th and 28th. 28th came from trade with Thunder. O.J. Mayo picked up his player option and we will resign with him as soon as season starts. We decided not to pick up team option on F. Garcia and Daniel Orton. Also Elton Brand and Roddy Beaubois were not offered contract as they were restricted Free Agents.

With 18th pick we picked Shabazz Muhammad from UCLA as we need to get younger and more athletic. And with 28th pick we picked best player available and that player was defensive specialist Victor Oladipo from Indiana University. In second round we got 5th pick from trade with Kings. We needed big body in the paint and picked Rudy Gobert from France. He is 7'2 with passing skills. Shabazz and Oladipo signed 2 year contract with 2 year team option. Gobert signed 1 year contract with 2 year team option. We also signed Patric Young for 7.47 mil $ 3 year contract and only first year is guaranteed. We also signed Jeff Withey on 6.84 mil $ contract. Like Young's contract his contract is also first year guaranteed.

Since there were too many swingmen we decided to get rid of Jae Crowder and D. McGuire for 2015 2nd round pick from Denver Nuggets. Below is our depth chart for upcoming season. We will not make any more trades so we don't ruin our perfect chemistry.



We are looking forward to new season and want the best to our Mavs.

[SuperHueyNewton]

Great and Bobcats in same sentence? JK. After I'm done with this(probably when Dirk retires...since it's Dallas and Dirks Final Chapter) I think I'm gonna do a new one with Stats Tracker and all of cool things I'll have with REDitor
