Confirmed, the Hawks acquired Antoine Walker and Tony Delk in exchange for Jason Terry and Alan Henderson.

Good move for the Mavs. They badly needed a PG after Nash's departure. Despite being a natural SG, Terry is the perfect fit and been orchestrating the Hawks offense for the past seasons. Also they were able to ship out Antoine Walker. Nowitzki will slip to starting PF and probably Laettner or Booth at starting center.

As for the hawks, they badly needed a player like walker who can be their take charge guy since most of their players are very much role players only. Delk can get the minutes he wants here at PG.

btw, Sixers trade (C/F) D. Coleman and (C) A. McCaskill for (F) Corliss Pistons Williamson.

gosh more big men for Detroit.

:whoa:

The Mavs have a glut in the shooting guard (Michael Finley, Jerry Stackhouse, Tariq Abdul Wahad) and point guard (Devin Harris, Jason Terry, Marquis Daniels) slot, and as usual no big men, and not enough role players. I don't see the point of this trade unless they make another deal (possibly for Kidd or Dampier) cuz Jason Terry and 2 years left in his deal and Alan Henderson is oft-injured.

True... but if they need this much effort to beat Germany, which didn't qualify, and got spanked by a bunch of Italians. Imagine what would happen if they faced Argentina, Serbia & Montenegro, Spain, Lithuania. Unless they find a way to play together instead as individuals, we might see a repeat performance of the 2002 world basketball championships.

The only advantage Team USA has is its superior athleticism, which isnt enough in international play, where teams can simple pack it in. And without a pure shooter, Banger/Efforcer type Big Man, and a pure point, the Americans are in trouble.

yup about the bangers, kulang na kulang dapat kinuha nila sa brad miller,

for shooters dapat si rip at redd

ahh heck dapat detroit pistons na lang ang pinadala nila plus tim duncan.

"dapat gawin agreement ng USA with NBA...kung sino manalo sa NBA ALL STAR GAME sya ilalaban sa mga international games."

kaya nga vulnerable na ang USA team ngayon, puro stars ang pinadadala. they need role players who will do the dirty work and provide the spark off the bench.

Kung dirty work, dapat pistons na lang pinadala nila hehehe.
