Rick posted:Tyson Chandler has been one of the dirtiest players in the league for the last ten years, and on top of that almost gets away with it completely. That's a good point. I guess I was thinking of players who are overtly aggressive and have some attitude. Kind of the "enforcer" archetype. The Morris twins sort of fit the bill too but they were more likely to get into it with a ref or coach than other players.

Serious answer: Luck, and lots of money for health experts to craft the perfectly regimented lifestyle for him. Lax PED testing in the NBA probably doesn't hurt either.

John Wall doing a triple take as JaVale inexplicably books it the other way and then exasperatingly trying to point him back to the right spot is just the greatest gif

"If things don't go so well and it hurts everywhere, it could be that 2017 will be the end," the forward told German magazine Sport Bild. "Actually, my plan is to complete the 20 years and play for Dallas until 2018. "But just because I have signed a two-year contract doesn't automatically mean that I will play for two years. It could happen next year." http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nowitz...20retirement%20'could%20happen'%20in%202017 Let's hope Dirk gets a lot of rest this season. If he makes it to 20 seasons, I hope the last one is with the Mavs. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Dec 14, 2016 |

Dirk isn't leaving Dallas barring some kind of catastrophe. He'll either retire or play out the contract. Even if the Mavs want to tank, they can do it by managing Dirk's minutes and resting him (and, honestly, he's probably not good enough anymore to significantly affect the outcome of a season anymore)

Even if the Mavs want to tank, they can do it by managing Dirk's minutes and resting him. To get to twenty years, he needs to sign one more deal. I'd say he is more likely to retire a Mav. However, if they bottom out even harder next year and don't get a top 5 pick this year(or good player in a trade for that pick) I could see him at least considering playing for a contender.

I'm not suggesting this is likely or anything, but this would be a funny time to trade him to the Lakers since the fan base absolutely hates him at the moment, the amount of back pedaling from Monday's game would be very funny to watch.

Paul Zuvella posted:Call it a hunch, I dont think too many contending teams have too many minutes available for old, bad Dirk. Calling old Dirk bad based off this season is a bit premature. He has only played 5 games and he was playing injured in most of those. To think that a contending team wouldn't try getting old Dirk if he was an option is laughable, especially considering the Warriors give minutes to JaVale and David West.

Our spot appears to be even better than the Calvin Klein V.I.P. section. The Celtics, whose shorts are winsomely decorated with a shamrock near the waistband, help themselves often to the gum, breath mints, sore-throat lozenges and chalk at the broadcasters’ table. This sounds dumb. But from this intimate spot, I am struck by how gorgeously the athletes play, how smoothly they glide across the court, how effortless they make it all seem. It’s particularly fun to get up close to Isaiah Thomas, the freakishly talented Celtics point guard, at 5-foot-9 more than a foot shorter than some of the other guys. He is everywhere at once and is always smiling as if in some private amusement.

The guy with a PER of 20 and WS/48 of .138. David West has also been playing way better recently. Dirk doesn't rebound, play defense, move the ball well. He's going to be a 39 year old with one talent (shooting) and there is no evidence to suggest he can even do that anymore. I stand by my statement that few contending teams are going to give that the time of day.
