Valentine Week Recap,

Well. The All-Star game is behind us....still, there's plenty of talk still being talk. Cowboy stadium recorded a 108,000 in attendance for the all-star game. Jerry Jones was seen grinning from cheek to cheek "GO COWBOYS" he said. I call Mr. Jones the ultimate marketer. He knows how to make $$$. I would like to interview Mr. Jones and talk about his talent for making money.. Anyway, Mavs owner Mark Cuban gave Jones a call, after realizing that the Americna Aitlines Centrer (AAC) would not hold the capacity expected. So, Mr. Cuban proposed the idea and as Mr. Cuban said "it was a no-brainer". Cowboys owner Jerry Jones got a chance to showcase his new stadium to the world AND make some $$, in fact, both cities- Dallas and Arlington= made plenty $$$$.


Mavs visit the Orlando Magic Friday night in Orlando... in Dwight Howard's territory. New Maverick Caron Butler (acquired in the 7-3 trade with the Washington Wizzards), is showing the trade for him as a player was a good move, so far. There's still plenty to check out I say.. follows his shot. He hustles, rebounds,and follows his shot, somkething the Mavs lacked.



When interviewing coach Rick Carlise I would always ask the question about offensive boards.. He would give some babble about 2 up front, 3 back on defense....yeah, yeah, the 2 up front was never following the shot they were running back on defense too....no second chance points.. Hopefully with the addition of Caron Butler and Brandon Haewood the Mavs will become a defense threat and known for their offenseive boards ability.

Haven't seen the third player in the trade, Stevenson... He hasn't played a minute of playing time..Maybe he was picked up for "cash consideration" as Donnie Nelson, Mavs president of basketball operations said during a released statement. Brandon Haewood offers dominance in the middle. He's a natural shot blocker and can guard with the best of 'em... Just what the Mavericks need a shot blocker and a defender who can make opposingplayers think twice about driving to the basket.

For the ladies learning the game, it means the Mavericks traded for player to win and for cash considerations







Fans seem to think the Mavs made a great move with this trade, some don't..
