The 4 spot

[BigMike]

Hey, it is officially my first post of "Shit that will never happen but I can dream... right?" Lets create the most screwed up set of forwards to ever play the game together.


At Small forward, standing 6'7'' the shortest man to lead the league in rebounding this decade, who never saw a basket he didn't want to crash into... G, G, G, Gerlad Wallace!

At Power Forward, at 7'0'' a member of this years all star shootout competitions winning team, a man who never saw a rim he didn't want to shoot at from 15 feet away, everybody's favorite German NBA player, Dirk Nowitzki!

Seriously how f'd up would it be to have the 2 most nonstandard players, in their positions, in the league together

That would be awesome....i love dirk but I doubt it will happen
But still think about it. Look at this lineup:

Felton(Or DJ)
Jack
Gerald
Dirk
Tyson

I like the idea a lot...know it will not happen...but maybe a guy like Frye?

How do you defend when the 4 is a 7 foot shooter and the 3 is a 6-7 crasher!? Gerald already draws a lot of attention from the 4s and 5 on other teams when he is going to the rim, if he had an outlet waiting for his pass every time he drove, that is going to catch and shoot unguarded other teams would have to choose who to guard.. or leave Jack open and thats not going to work any better for them

And with 4 scoring threats on the floor Felts could fall back to facilitating more and lead the league in assists....

All i am saying is that PG and PF are our two week spots and one of the premier PFs in the league is possibly on the block.

Like I said...I like it a lot...but the thought of Cuban (not wanting to be embarrassed) and what he would pay Dirk makes me shudder...

[bing!]

Cuban will stick to Dirk for fear of fan-base/media backlash more than he actually believes he's making a profitable investment. And it will backfire, with half a dozen more mediocre seasons (mediocre by standards of one expecting to go all the way) in store for him. Dirk is getting old (as most everyone on their current roster already is) and banking huge amounts of cash on him is a bad move for the Mavs' future.

But, hey, like I care...

hypothetical crazy forward combos:

charles barkley and ralph sampson - a 6'4" power forward who bullied down low and rebounded like a mad man and a 7'4" forward/cener who wanted to be a shooting guard.

dennis rodman and adam morrison - the best defensive forward of the past 20 years next to the worst defensive forward of the past 20 years.

larry bird and chris gatling - the greatest passing forward ever next to the biggest black hole ive ever seen.

popeye jones and rick rox - jones has to be the ugliest forward ever and fox was mr gq.

shawn kemp and ac green - kemp has 100 babies from 99 woman, ac green was a virgin.

[bing!]

Front court?

[SWedd523]

If Dirk leaves Dallas to go anywhere, it'll be Phoenix.

[bing!]

Hold the phone a sec... Antoine actually might be available!!

Click and be flabbergasted at the prospect

Some of the folks here have been whining about the lack of a proper outside threat...

You know you wanna make love to him

Bring it on!
