JT update: looks like he may be coming off >>

[chillzatl]

the bench this season. I have it on good authority that Dallas is VERY excited about Devin Harris and JT may be relegated to a bench role or moved at some point this season.

From "The main engine" on a loosing team to a spare part

on a potentially great team.

Do you want to play full time, be a big frog in a small

pond, be the star attraction or do you want to be a

bench player, come in for a few minutes each game and

be part of a winning team???

Some just want to win. Others just want to play.

Some can find a happy medium between the two. Wonder

how this will play out for Jason Terry ??

Watching Jason Terry interact with the fans before, during and after games. We have a lot of guys who go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to making our fans and customers happy, but JT the Jet has raised the bar to a new level. From running through the crowd and high fiving everyone during his introduction to fans, or his rousing pre game speech letting everyone know there is a new Big D in Dallas and its called Defense. His energy is going to be infectious.

Devin Harris as the number 5 pick is expected to be good, but his demeanor, his passion and his ability are a great combination. Devin was Nellie’s pick. Watching film, Nellie pushed us all in Devin’s direction and he was right on. A little tidbit on DH. When we got the #5 pick, we sent up our team psychologist to NY to meet with as many of the kids we thought had a chance to be available at #5. We couldnt talk to everyone we wanted to, but of the kids Don did speak to, without knowing what our scouts and Nellie thought about their playing ability, Don immediately started going on and on about Devin. Tough (he delayed getting a spleen operation in High School so he could qualify for a scholarship for college), smart, a good listener, leadership qualities, a quick learner, he went on and on. All of which contribute to the success Devin has had so far in the preseason. Its going to be fun watching DH grow as a player and person this year.

JT is a good talker... But rarely did he back up anything he said. The fact that he plays a lot of NBA Live tells me why.

[Iman]

It wouldnt surprise me at all to see Dallas use JT as a bench sparkplug and I think JT is perfect for this role. I wish him luck but still liked the trade.

[Admin]

Well that was a nice fantasy of having him be a sparkplug off the bench, but he is no Bobby Jackson. He pouts when he isnt a starter and he obviously cannot play defense like Jackson, so if they are hoping he can be their Jackson I think they will be sorely disappointed. I think that Devin Harris will be a star in this league and JT will either suck it up and be the 6th man type of player that he can.......or they will trade him to another loser team that needs a scoring PG.

"...or they will trade him to another loser team that needs a scoring PG. "

LIKE US??

[Packfill]

Now I am glad I spent the last pick in my fantasy draft on Devin Harris.

[clrumph]

And I just traded FOR JT a couple days ago. Rats!!!

[Weez]

you'll be happy with JT as a fantasy player if he's coming off the bench. Trust me, he'll still get plenty of burn down there, with his ability to be a sg and occassional pg, to play beside devin or to run the team with finley at his side...think about that. he'll still get 30 minutes a game and be able to focus on scoring more than learning the plays and running the team.
