This is some goddamn bull . The Mavs will never be great with Mark Cuban running the show.
Man, as much as I hoped we'd make a deal I figured this would happen after that debacle this summer. ing MBT is the stupidest ever. It's so ing crazy how much Cuban has changed from before. He used to be badass, now he is the biggest ass behind Donnie. Well, there's still hope though, don't forget that we get the All star 18ppg player in Stack back and ALSO Jet....O man what the am I talking about, here's to another wasted year for Dirk and the Mavs!!
At least I can root for the Thunder who actually look like they have a bright future
What trade did you want them to make?
Trade for T-mac..
John Salmons was there to be had, but the Mavs found incompetence so easily achieved that the Bulls outbid them.
Wait, I forgot, we're getting Dwyane Wade in 2010.
And Chris Bosh will sign for the MLE because everybody wants to play for the Mavs, as evidenced by Erick Dampier, Devean George, Eddie Jones, Gana Diop, Greg Buckner, and all the other great free agents we've picked up.
Dirk will play for free, too.
Mono for armchair GM of the YEAR!
So do you alternate your pom-poms on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis?
Hey you might still have a shot in the playoffs, Mavs seem to have been playing well lately.
Armchair GM of the mutha in year monoslab1k!
At the end of the day, it probably really didn't matter. Barring fluke shots or injuries, the Lakers are winning the West this year. Trade or no trade, our best case scenario is a 4/5 seed and a playoff series win. That is still achievable, but that would just mean we lose in 4-5 to Lakers in 2nd round.
A trade may have solidified our chances of getting into that position, but would it have actually improved our ceiling? I doubt it.
Furthermore, how were we trying to "lowball" Sacramento as Mono put it. If Stackhouse was on the table, if Bass was on the table, who the else is supposed to be on the table? J-Ho is absolutely off limits for a player of John mutha in salmons caliber. Let's not pretend like the Mavs are laden with assets and are opting not to use them.
Anywho, there's still 13 hours left. So WHO KNOWS!
Well my guess is you guys land Denver or San Antonio in the first round. Both are beatable, especially if Ginobli is out for the year. Its plausable, yet unlikely, you make it to the WCF.
I wouldn't wish for trades, just to make trades.

2010 Biatch....The revival of the Dallas Mavericks
The Mavs had (and have) two options: radicalize and go for a full rebuild (around who? that's a difficult question, because Dirk may be too old already) or stand pat and see this core can do in the playoffs. Other options would imply to give away talent or eat bad contracts/give away good contracts in a way that would limit their options going on and that's not good, IMO.
With JET out 4 more weeks the Mavs need to do something to add another scorer bc they have some tough road games coming up between now and march...if nothing is done i fear this team will be the odd team out
Put down the Hatorade. Your criticism of the Spurs is misplaced - as usual. Along the way, you neglected to mention that the Celtics literally tanked the season on their way to the second worst record in the 1996-97 season and had the best odds (36 percent) of winning the lottery with two picks. Meaning the Celtics had a far better chance of landing the top pick, than did the Spurs. After all was said and done, Celtics ended up with picks #3 and #6 and the Spurs won the top pick. Don't hate on the Spurs simply because the lottery balls fell our way.SA scouts? please. Matt Bonner? Roger Mason? You're just listing names, not good players.
The only thing SA has ever done is tank a season and luck its way into a #1 draft pick
Lakers, now theres a front office you can applaud. 4 years removed from Shaq they've built a team set for now and the future, with brilliant trades for Ariza and Gasol, drafting of Bynum and Farmar, etc.
Instead, you should direct your venom towards your own FO. Let's start with the same 1997 draft. Turns out your team had two 1st round picks of their own. How did they spend them? Try Kelvin Cato and the great Chris Anstey (hailed as best running big man in the NBA, by the great Don Nelson). In recent years, how about your Mavs drafting Nick Fazekas and Mo Ager in recent years, then shipping them out as trade fodder. Or courting and signing the likes of free agent types Trenton Hassell, Anthony Johnson, and Austin Croshere. And probably their biggest and most recent blunder, the recent trading away of a young PG in Devin Harris for an old PG in Jason Kidd, along with two 1st round picks. In the process, adding more fat to an already-bloated, top-heavy payroll and making an old roster even older. That was just dumb. To compound matters, they followed that up with the brilliant, offseason of blowing their MLE wad on Desgana Diop, in yet another stroke of free agent idiocy.
Get that green monster off your back and lay blame where it really belongs - with the owner and FO of your own team.
I stand by my mutha in opinion.

Good post. Ghazi won't understand though, b/c you didn't use the word "fluke" every sentence.
