Mav fans have seen this too many times. Another first round exit leaves us again with the question of, "where do we go from here?". The Butler/Haywood trade did a lot for us but a hungry Spurs team proved even the best of deals are not enough when you have an inferior coach and a team that lacks a a true game changer. Let me start this off by giving props once again to Dirk Nowitzki for sticking up with a disapointing season while he played flawless for nearly 90 games. Dirk's decision to stay or go will have a huge impact on our decision making this off season. If he leaves, then expect Dallas to move alot of contracts and press hard for Lebron James. I cant see Dirk walking from 21 million, because Im not sure another contender will offer that kind of money. Cuban has a lot of options at this point. He mentioned blowing up the team at the deadline, but instead pulled a great deal with Washington. No reason to blow it up with the talent we have, but no doubt changes are needed. Terry is loved by Cuban, but I dont see anyone really protected other than Kidd and Dirk. Look for Dirk to extend his contract and retire in a mavs uniform. Beaubois is showing promise and will continue to blossom into a future all star next season. No way we let him go (even for Bosh) unless it is for a top 7 or 8 guy in the league.
Guys to look for:
Joe Johnson
Ray Allen
Marcus Camby
Al Harrington
David Lee
Mike Miller
Carlos Boozer
Steve Blake
Kyle Korver
Luis Scola
Rudy Gay
Raja Bell
Carl Landry
Stay Away From:
Tracy McGrady
Kenyon Martin
Jermaine O'Neal
Derek Fisher
Mike James
Shaquille O'Neal
JJ Re
Jordan Farmar

Marcus Camby is already locked up witht he Blazers for 3 years, he just signed a extension. Derek Fisher and Shaq will NEVER go to Mavericks so just get that possibility out of your head. Big Z is never going to leave the city of Cleveland. All though I could see Mike Miller and Al Harrington going to the Mavericks if they had the chance.
Shaq likes the mavs and is good friends with cuban
If Dirk leaves, Mark Cuban will have Lebron James in a Maverick unifrom next season.
That Marion contract makes me lol every time...
With the amount of talent you guys had on your team this year, not even Lebron will help you guys win a championship
Lebron will love this
PG- Washed up
SG- French Jesus
SF- himself
PF- lmao
C- lmao
yeah me too, equally one epic fail signing as Jackie Butler
Dirk leaving doesn't open enough capspace for Dallas. Even if you assume not a cent of Dampier's contract is guaranteed, that still leaves them with only about $8 million in capspace after cutting him and letting Nowitzki walk.
I don't think the Mavericks should overreact. Beaubois looks like he could be a future all-star. You just can't teach his ability to get to the rim and his creativity getting by shotblockers. There should be no hurry to rebuild, because players like Nowitzki aren't easy to find.
sign and trade. Dallas has more to offer Cleveland than anyone. Chicago will be game but doesnt have the chips we do.
Sign and trades never work like that. Dallas has no leverage to force Cleveland into doing it without having the capspace.
And Chicago can just sign LeBron outright.
