Who Should We Get?

Well the big question this offseason so far has been Jason Kidd, but with his deal lingering I thought that it would be interesting to see other potential players that are available via free agency or trade.

Shawn Marion - Yep he is now someone on the back end of his career after leaving the run and gun system in Phoenix, but with Kidd at point he could be a viable option if he is willing to take a pay cut this year. Sign and trades could also be available to bring in Marion who also has experience playing with Kidd, and is still a very quick player.

Richard Hamilton - This man is towards the back end of his career too, but with the Mavs holding onto two salary cap pieces, and Ben Gordon verbally agreeing to the Pistons I don't see why Rip can't be had for a good price. Even though Hamilton is older so is Kidd, and with Kidd, Hamilton, J-Ho, and Dirk we could have potential to be elite once again in the West.

Ron Artest - Would he sign for less in a city like Dallas? I don't think him and Dirk would get along because of the intensity Ron has, but man he would bring the toughness they need indeed. Now Dirk is a great team player so maybe it could happen, but I seriously doubt it on Ron's part. ***UPDATE*** RON ARTEST HAS VERBALLY AGREED TO THE LAKERS!!! Soooo this won't happen now lol

Trevor Ariza - With Artest on his way to LA, Ariza is the odd man out. While Ariza may be heated at the Lakers, Houston might be the place he will go to. If Ariza doesn't go to Houston, I would love to see Dallas shell out the MLE to this man who can do anything that is asked. Plus his NBA IQ was checked in LA which means he has the smarts to play with Kidd... ***UPDATE*** So it looks like Houston gets Ariza, I wonder if they will have bad blood this season.

Rudy Fernandez - I know someone is upset at the Blazers for trying to negotiate with Hedo Turkoglu ..... This is probably a very unlikely scenario but with Rudy at the 2 Dallas could have a very strong outside shooter which could cause havoc for D's.

Kirk Hinrich - The only reason Hinrich would be worth bringing here is if Kidd leaves. Maybe a signing of Kidd and a few trades to remove Kidd and bring Hinrich could be a possibility, but if we want to win now, idk.

Stephen Jackson - Captain Jack who killed us along with the other Warriors could be the odd man out in the young backcourt of Golden State. Bringing in Stephen would get us the strong SG we need when it comes to toughness and leadership, and him paired with Kidd could be what Dallas needs to bring them over into the finals.

Marcus Camby - Old, Injury Prone, Defensive presence. Yeah, we should try to get this man for the garbage we are trying to remove, and him in the middle with Kidd throwing lobs could be dangerous...

Tyson Chandler - The Kidd and lobs thing applies here also, but the one thing about having this man is he could have peaked, and he could be here longer than we need. Sure the other players are older but having Tyson here can give us a little more offense, I just don't know if he will every be healthy for a full 82.

There are other players out there and available for many different scenarios, let's hope our team makes the right more...
