Avery's Done

Cuban is simply wrong on this one. Avery Johnson is a great coach. The guy is just two seasons removed from being Coach of the Year. The fact is that the Jason Kidd trade didn't pan out as expected and there has to be a fall guy ... Avery Johnson is that fall guy.

Jason Kidd is playing uninspired ball and has been for the past few years.

The Mavs would have been well served to hang onto Devin Harris.

ok first off if Van Gundy comes here i hope he gets booed the first step he takes on the court... I cant stand that tool bag, he bashed us every game we played with him announcing.  And the man with three first names wouldnt be bad but its gonna be another waste of talent when he turns us into the same team as Nelly did.. Dont want that again. And Howard probably wont be leaving cuz I think Cuban likes him way to much.. I mean come on he wouldnt trade Howard for Kobe what makes you think he is gonna trade him away now.. Just cuz of a party. I agree that made me sick as well but not enough to get rid of him.. I wouldnt mind seeing Rick here coaching us.. I wanted Larry Brown but the Bobcats beat us to that.  Maybe Larry Bird leaves the Pacers org. and becomes a coach.. He knows a little something bout basketball and championships haha. It's time he steps on the court and wins one as a coach.

I think Dirk might be on his way out along with Kidd and probably Stackhouse.. Two of the three are getting old and Dirk is not clutch what so ever. I hate to see him go but I think it would be the right thing to do in this situation.. Get somebody that is young and an explosive player with heart and leadership.. If we can get someone like that without trading Dirk then I think we will be unstoppable. But it doesnt seem like that will happen

Well fellas its time to start this offseason. What do you guys think we should do. Any free-agents out there that you know about. The possibilities of them coming to Dallas... I wouldn't mind seeing us trade Kidd off for some picks and young players and signing Iverson if he opts out of his contract, and gets his act together and realizes its gonna take a team to win a championship. Not a six foot guard who shoots low % from shooting to much. Just looking for some thoughts

I have no more respect for cuban as owner of this historicaly poor franchise. That just about did it for me.

Let's talk about the real question... Sould we trade away Dirk Nowitzski like the Timberwolves did Kevin Garnett and Memphis Grizzlies did Pau Gasol. Dirk's career has been sabotaged here in Dallas...the Mavericks will never win a NBA championship with dirk as the offensive force. Put Dirk with a team that will contend for a championship and head to the basement with our new coach and totally new starting 5 and bench. Better yet, I pray that cuban sell the team...

Don't just blow up this team(yeah right, no trade values), annihilate it! reduce this team to nothing and start all over.

I'm thru with heartless basketball. Good-bye sky high dreams, welcome back hell's basement.

This doesn't seem like a very good move. It's not like the team didn't win with him.      &nbs p;    I think Avery got the most effort he could from his players but it only takes a few players to spoil the bunch. Besides I doubt there are many coaches out there any better. Avery won't be out of a job long.

Avery's driven style might of grated on some of his players  and in today's game unfortunately the players seem to have more authority than the coach. Plus Cuban caused friction when he went for Kidd after Avery groomed Devin Harris.

I would of given him one more year and tried restructure the team.  Bass, Dirk, Terry, and Stackhouse are effort guys to keep around but I'd trade Josh Howard, Dampier and maybe Kidd to get a big guy with athletisism who can score and rebound and a younger point guard.

One thing from last night's game that rubbed me wrong was how Avery managed the clock at the end.  The Maverick's did great to get back in the game. I thought they should of called a time out at the 50 second mark to design a play. They lost 20 seconds looking lost. Then with 33 seconds they should of fouled the Hornets to lengthen the game. The Hornets had just missed two free throws. It wasn't coached well and seemed like he was caught off guard by comeback.
