But hey at least the Mavs make moves.
I've had that feeling before when I say something that I shouldn't have and it s up something.
Stack is a complete buffoon.
But hey at least the Mavs make moves.
For everyone who hates Mark Cuban, it's looking more and more as though HE was the one who ed this trade up. According to Dallas sports talk radio, Cuban alone, was in negiotiations with Nets President Rod Thorn on the details and components of this trade. It looks as though HE failed to communicate the trade idea back to Stackhouse, George and the other principals involved. Therefore, he never knew about the trade clause in George's contract. Then Stackhouse started running his mouth before the trade was finalized.
I wonder how he will spin that in his blog.
he's gonna rot in new jersey ...maybe he should be traded to the spurs instead. I'll give them Elson - no early bird rigths "I SWEAR"
Easy, blame it on the idiot that is Jerry Stackhouse.
classic....way to go stack. i thought it was fishy when i read the comments
im pretty sure cuban is going crazy

The Mavs and Nets weren't smart about this. They should have gone CIA like what the Lakers did with Gasol.
No wonder the Mavs were ready to give up youth and depth for Kidd. They are in desperate need for some IQ and mental toughness.
Ha Ha Ha . Where are all the dumbass Mav fans now?!?
Is Mavericks front office run by a monkey?
100% correct. I just posted something similar in the NBA forum about how I don't feel this screws the team if it all falls through. Cuban did the dealing and Donnie/Avery only signed off on it. They had no negotiations with Thorn as Cuban did. Avery felt they gave up too much but was willing to work with what they were getting back. Donnie became a yes-man in the whole process and could offer little. This is what Cuban does and it's why the players involved won't be as hurt as people would think if it all falls through. Sure, there will be some sore feelings and some guys will still likely need to be moved, but the disdain for Cuban was already there and, if anything, this just furthered it.
As for Stack - not defending him, because he opened his trap - but he does have a little defense in this. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that he was only included to have the numbers match. (But he shouldn't have said it). And, technically, because he'll be a free agent he could sign anywhere he wants and just HAPPENS to have a preference to return to Dallas in 30 days. (But again - you don't say it).
Basically, this whole debacle turned in a huge cluster . It will either have the team question themselves even more than they already do (which I know everyone here is hoping for) or it will help rally them together in what may be a "last stand" type deal for Avery (he is so sick of Cuban). They do still play well together as shown last night - I think they have no problem with Phoenix if given more healthy bodies. There will need to be a couple moves, but nothing like Cuban was giving up and hopefully nothing that mortgages the future like the Kidd one was going to do.
Don't insult monkeys, please.
Who are you?
I know you're not up early! 5:00AM??
In stackhouse's defense, no one ever said he was a member of Mensa.
Either way the Mavs chemistry is ed.
So are you saying that some of the players and even Avery are getting fed up wtih Cuban? If so, this is very interesting. What gives you that idea? What have you heard?
You watch, nothing will come from this
ing up a trade...
So easy a caveman can do it.

Now whenever somebody says something that stuffs up an agreement or relationship between 2 parties, it can be called a "Stackhouse"...
"Man, I was going really good with this chick, but then i said something so stackhouse and she won't speak to me anymore"
Without giving up too much, Avery has been tired of Cuban for about 3 years now. He had little say in this trade proposal and felt that Cuban gave up too much after hearing the names of those involved. He was willing to work with what they were getting back, but still didn't like the trade. There has been a behind the scenes tussle between them for a while now. I'm not even sure Don/Donnie could stand him much, either, but everyone just keeps their mouths shut and puts on a smiley face and goes about their business because we all know that Cuban can be a tyrant and has the final word on everything. Avery speaks up against him behind the scenes, but really - what can he do? I fear that he'll eventually get so tired of it that he'll walk and drag the team down even further.
You ever see the two together, shaking hands and talking? Referring to the "great work" the other does for the club? Nope.
That's why I don't think the trade falling through hurts the team as much as people would think. The players are going to be loyal to Avery (somewhat, though it seems they don't follow him as well now as when he first took over) far more than they will be to Cuban. For them, it's just something else that Cuban tried to do on his own rather than letting those he pays to do the work actually do so. Very "Jerry Jones", if you will.
...and then her friend turned around and DeveanGeorge'd me - right in the nuts!
So maybe George blew up the trade for AJ?
Spurs Fan in Exile and MI21 are putting classic stuff
