It makes sense if he is trying to screw over Miami:
Cuban ftw

Funny thing is Mavs already had a Haslem of sorts ...
Brandon Bass ...
Both are good 15 foot jump shoooters that hustle and scrap ...
Solid pickup if you ask me ...
that'll go nowhere.
Get Phil Jackson to complain about it, then something might happen.
Brandon Bass is nowhere near the defender or rebounder than Haslem is.
Haslem is better than Bass but not by that much. Still don't see how this significantly improves the Mavs.
Bass has a midrange jumper and he's incredibly aggressive going for dunks (which usually led to him getting his blocked 3-4 times a game). That's about all he has going for him. He can't rebound or play defense for .
Haslem is a tough defender, great rebounder, and has a decent offensive game.
He's not going to leave Miami anyway, he's from the area and is very good friends with Riley and Wade. No way he gives up the chance to play with the Wade-Bron-Bosh trio..
lol Cuban..
When you were signing up for Spurtalk and had to pick between the screen names Captain Obvious and crc212009, what made you lean towards the latter?
Heat's Udonis Haslem will have a choice

Earlier Sunday, we pointed out here that the Dallas Mavericks have been interested in power forward Udonis Haslem, who has spent his entire seven-year career with the Miami Heat.
On Sunday night, sources close to the situation confirmed to ESPNDallas.com that the Mavericks have extended a multi-year offer to Haslem that starts at the full $5.8 mid-level exception.
One source added that Haslem – one of Miami's most effective defenders on Dirk Nowitzki during the 2006 NBA Finals – is giving Dallas' pitch strong consideration despite the fact that the Heat are lobbying him hard to stay for less money and play with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
The 6-foot-8 Haslem has averaged 10.0 points and 8.1 rebounds in his career. Haslem, 30, made $7.1 million last season. The newly star-laden Heat hope to keep him but will be limited to offering Haslem just over $4 million a year after signing the mega-free-agent trio and completing the expected signing of sharpshooter Mike Miller.
Although Dallas can clearly outbid Miami, Haslem's strong ties to the area – especially to his close friend Wade – hurt the Mavericks' chances of actually landing him. It's also possible that New Jersey could join the bidding for Haslem as well.
Mavs president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson and coach Rick Carlisle have said the club's top free-agent priority is to sign a power forward or center. The Mavs have secured new deals with Dirk Nowitzki and Brendan Haywood, but depth is lean behind them with only Eduardo Najera and Erick Dampier on the roster.
and original article from Yahoo Sports http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slu...gentbuzz071110
The Dallas Mavericks are determined to make it difficult for free agent Udonis Haslem to easily return to the Miami Heat.
The Mavs have offered a contract believed to be a minimum of three years and $20 million, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Mavericks have offered Haslem their full mid-level exception starting at $5.85 million this season, a league source said.
The Heat are trying to re-sign Haslem to play with Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, but salary cap restraints could leave them with as little as $4.3 million a year to pay him. And that’s assuming the Heat signs free agent Mike Miller starting at $4.9 million.
Haslem, who made $7 million last season, has been a consistent defender and rebounder for the Heat, and president Pat Riley has been determined to keep him. He averaged 10 points and eight rebounds in seven seasons with Miami.
New Jersey has shown interest in Haslem but hasn’t made a formal offer. Haslem shares the same agent as Wade and Bosh, and has expressed a strong desire to return to the Heat.

Haslem has to take nearly a 3 million dollar paycut to stay with the Heat. He's gone!
the Mavs.
Wow, now I see why you are the biggest tool on ST. Don't worry, your team will not repeat next year. We don't have to do except sign a backup center and we are good to go.
lol i’m just gonna dig up all of my old horrible takes
