Guys you'll probably see for the last time in Mavs Jersey

Aren't you the originator of the 'WE STACKED' meme?

not even close.

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this board. Cuban the fan is embarrassing with some of his antics. Cuban the owner is fantastic with his deep pockets and willingness to spend money on his team.

The Grizzlies, Clippers and Warriors need a new owner, not the Mavericks.

you forgot to say Nets need a new owner.

oh yeah, wait never mind I forgot they are getting a new owner Mikhail Prokhorov sometime. Hopefully he is owner before the draft. And he will be even better then Cuban, because I'm sure Cuban would party with the players on the Mavs, had to see 60 minutes when he was on to understand that

The guy played in 56 games in 2008 and 31 games in 2009. No GM in his right mind would trade for that guy and his contract under those conditions. And to have to take on Baron "I play hard 15% of the time and show up to training camp 20 lbs overweight" Davis and his contract as well? No thanks.

what does it matter? we suck ass now and in the immediate future anyway

Isn't "scoffed" a pretty strong word? Neither Spurs in 6 or Mavs in 7 is an outrageous basketball opinion.

You gotta be ing kidding me. I said in march this team was doomed to go out in the first round and everybody scoffed that. In my Spurs In 6, thread, you claimed my prediction was the "most cynical, pessimistic outlook possible". Now suddenly it's just as reasonable a prediction as Mavs in 7? Don't try to spin this like you and Ghazi spin everything to sound as pro-Mavs as possible.

You said they would lose no matter who they played. They would've beaten Portland, Denver or Phoenix. Instead they drew the hottest team in the West. It's underachieving to be 1-3 instead of 2-2 right now, but don't act like you saw this exact scenario play out back in March.

You didn't say Pop would coach circles around Rick and that Marion and Butler would take a backseat to JJB. You didn't say anything about the San Antonio guards raping the Mavs guards. You did the whole psycho-analysis schtick whereby you said the Mavs would be 'front-running jump-shooting pussies' who would quit at the first sign of adversity. That has not happened. Considering Dallas is losing this series for coaching and basketball reasons, why would fellow Mavs fans want to read you ripping this team's character and guts, since apparently they are 'front-running jump-shooting pussies' who quit at the first sign of trouble? If that were the case, the last two games would've been blowouts.

Rip Carlisle for not trusting Roddy, his shoddy coaching and not having enough bball IQ to complement Kidd and Dirk, but I don't understand how you have been vindicated by your claim that they are a bunch of 'front-running jump-shooting' pussies who would feel sorry for themselves and quit.

I don't listen to hip hop, so maybe the Jay Z video in the OP is some sort of ironic statement then?

But since you're a prophet whose basketball wisdom cannot be questioned, I can't question you ranking Denver and Dallas ahead of the Lakers? I can't question you thinking Gerald Green had what it takes to be a productive NBA player?

If Dirk doesn't try to blow out of there he's crazy. Harder said than done to get to a team vying for a le.

Tell you what could be interesting...if LA loses in the first round as Dallas, there is going to be some interesting trades.

He's got a player option for $22 million next year. There's like 8 teams under the cap and none of them offer a better situation than Dallas. Doubt he's going anywhere.

Nothing I said in that thread isn't true. The Mavericks are stacked and the Mavericks have what it takes to beat the Lakers. I never said the Mavericks suck. I said they're jump shooting front runners who will underacheive come playoff time.

And Gerald Green was given a Roddy Beaubois level of chance on the Mavericks. Meaning no chance at all. You know this as well as I do.

So you stand behind Denver > Dallas > Lakers?

Roddy is a big part of the Mavs future plans. If Carlisle doesn't give him regular, consistent minutes next year, it will be his last coaching the team. Rick can't use the "he's an unprepared rookie" excuse anymore. They took a flier on Green and nothing more.

[Ghazi]

Is Carlisle under contract next year?

He'll be back next year. But if Roddy doesn't get a consistent role, and the Mavs go out in the first round again, he won't be coaching this team in 2011/12.

I fully expect Cuban to fire Carlisle after this year.

chill chill, no need to get made at me, I'm not a Mav be mad at them, they are the ones losing 3-1 to Spurs.

I was just saying what Findog left out, he listed teams that needed new owners, and Nets still have the Rat till the new guy takes over so they do need a new owner. Basketball is just a game, maybe if your are calling someone a you need to step away from the game, great for life makes it much more enjoyable

Then who's the guy that you think will probably supersede this re ? Larry Brown? Brown has been working good with Bobcats so I don't see him leaving them this coming summer. Coach K? I don't seriously think he will come to coach an NBA team, even if he decides to test the swamp, most likely the Nets will be his choice based on the rumors. JVG? com'on...

Dirk isn't going anywhere, he would be stupid if he doesn't at least think about it, but he seems to loyal so even if he could go somewhere and win, I don't think he would. Could be wrong though, being a teammate of Kidd some things might rub off on him

[da_suns_fan]

Jefferson could opt out, we let Bonner and Mason walk, thats close to 20mil right there.

Duncan wouldnt be able to claim the PF spot anymore though

I think a Duncan and Dirk duo along with Manu, Parker and Hill would probably be the sickest lineup in the NBA, bar none.

It's nice to dream but it would never happen.

Jefferson is more likely to give his salary to me than he is to opt out.
