This is a little off topic, well not far, it's not about the Mavericks but about Jason Williams. He announced his retirement just after 10 years in the NBA. He was primarily a point guard and was part of the Championship team that defeated Dallas.

So I give Jason Williams props. Only 33 years old. Has a championship ring and probably at least a few million sitting in the bank to live off of, I envy that myself. I wish I could retire in 3 years, have a few million, had a kick ass job playing basketball for 10 years with a championship ring.

What more could anyone ask for really?

Not necessarily Maverick news but the Celtics and Lakers are now meeting once again in the Finals. Carlisle seems to predict that the Celtics are going to take the title home for the first time since 1986. Their last Finals appearance was in 1987.

What's your prediction? I unfortunately believe that the Lakers will win in 6 games. They dominated their rivals and matchups throughout the playoffs while the Celtics barely slipped past lower ranked and seeded teams. The only thing that saved them was having home court advantage, which I think the Lakers will exploit and it won't matter.

Honestly though, these two teams have plenty of trophies and I quite bring myself to be interested in watching any of the games. It's really nothing new.

And until the season picks back up, there probably isn't going to be much updates to this site til all the excitement of next season begins for the Mavericks.

Dirk Nowitzki has made the All-NBA team for the 8th straight season. He made the second all round team this year along with Steve Nash, Deron Williams, Amare Stoudemire, and Tim Duncan.

The first team included Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett. Kobe Bryant was the only player to be unanimously voted on the first team.

I'm sure Dirk is honored but who really cares. Dirk was last years League MVP and his only goal now is to win a championship before he's that veteran bench warmer finding the team to win while riding the bench for the majority of his last days.

According to an interview with DaSagana Diop, he wouldn't mind coming back to Dallas to rejoin the Mavericks. He is a free agent and supposedly Cuban is a fan of the 7 footer.

I would honestly like for Diop to come back if they could make some room for him. Perhaps get rid of Juwan Howard, Eddie Jones and a few other aging veterans that really do nothing but take up some salary cap space for the Mavericks.

It would be very good to have Diop start instead of Dampier in my opinion. He's young, motivated and better on defense. He could also benefit from Kidd and be an offensive threat with the right training.
