Blowing up the team really worked for the Rockets...
Yes, he should tbqh.
Send Dirk to a contender, and start rebuilding before it's too late. The Mavs already have one of the, if not The Oldest team in the league. WTF are they doing?

No
I think he should put Carlisle in a pool and take away the ladder like in The Sims, tbh.
he'll never do it. he's too busy letting dirk on him in the sick porn the two of them probably make
sons he needs to get a team leader who is BLACK. as long as Dirk is their leader, they will never win . book it
The Rockets aren't rebuilding....they're reloading.
Avery Johnson was their leader in the mid-2000s. The Mavs may just need a good tank season. Get a good lotto pick to pair with Dirk for his final years and hope for the best. Or give Diop the MLE again.
Cuban is an idiot. I read a rumor somewhere that MK offered the Mavs Shaq in 2006 for a Dirk package. Cuban said no. Shaq ended up getting traded to Miami and commensed to back door sweep his ass in the Finals that year.

He went all in but he could somewhat blow it up if he wants to let go of Chandler, Butler and Terry. Then he can let Kidd go after next year.
Cuban is however besides Dirk stuck with Hayward and Marion for years to come. That Hayward contract is horrible.

parker, hill, bonner, and RJ for Dirk
do it!!!!
Keeping the washed up three sure worked out for the Spurs...
Cuban turned down Dirk for Shaq and later Dirk for KobeCuban is an idiot. I read a rumor somewhere that MK offered the Mavs Shaq in 2006 for a Dirk package. Cuban said no. Shaq ended up getting traded to Miami and commensed to back door sweep his ass in the Finals that year.

That's why Cuban should blow it up, he refuses to actually go all in. A team should either be building for the future or trying to get as good as possible as soon as possible to contend. No in-betweens. If Cuban thought that Beaubois and his 15 minutes per game were worth more than someone who could be helping the Mavs right now, then the Mavs are a rebuilding team. If they were a contending team, they would have made a deadline deal as they clearly weren't a team capable of contending with the roster they had at the trade deadline.
For the lottery?
one more year, then yes
It's not easy to have a playoff team. It's even harder to have a perennial playoff team. If Mark is making a profit, it would be stupid to "blow up the team".
This isn't a video game, it's a business. Sure the championship is the ultimate goal, but who would have given a about the Mavs during their 5 win season? Middle of the road teams, those who are 8th seeds or just out of the playoffs, those are the ones you dismantle because the contracts are often more than the intake, but Dallas is a contender every year, at least in the regular season. That's 82 games where revenue is collected from teams' fans who either come to see Dirk win or to see him lose.
No one would have considered blowing up the Cavs when Lebron was with them, and they've done no better than the Mavericks.
The ring is a fan thing, but the most profitable teams don't necessarily win championships.
Neither Shaq nor Kobe would make Dallas a champion without Dirk. It took Wade and Pau to win the rings respectively.Cuban turned down Dirk for Shaq and later Dirk for Kobe
Caron Butler's injury was tough on Dallas. He's no MJ, but he was a big lift for that team.
Mark isn't making a profit, Dallas has been losing money for years now. Better luck next time on your effort to sound smart and business savvy.
Does any team do well when their owner is that involved? (NBA)?
I like teams that have owners you rarely hear about, who allow the GM and coach to make the calls. Mark gets more face time than his coaches.
The team doesn't do well, but some owners turn a healthy profit. The Suns have steadily made 20+ million in net income each year Sarver has owned the team.
That's the problem with billionaires who use a team as a pet project. Sarver is profit driven, Cuban is ego driven. Somewhere between those is a championship waiting to happen.
He should have blown them up after the 2007 debacle. They've had some turnover, but they haven't changed the way they play. Iso Dirk and everyone else plays off that (when they don't stand around). I miss the 2003 Mavs when they moved the ball and Dirk was just their best shooter. If you could get that team to play defense, they'd probably have 2-3 les by now.
no need to blow it up....If you need toughness and scoring, then acquire Stephen Jackson. Just find a way to not make the bench a liability. Trade Barea for a bag of chips if you have to.
