I live in DFW too, and there isnt nearly as much hot air as you suggest.
Fair enough.talk about Mark Cuban and Tom Green all you want, but you leave South Park alone.

No . Cuban is implying that the Spurs are blocking Mavs trades with other teams through former employees.If it's not a big deal, why say anything at all? What's his motivation?
If I said something like, "Nobody wants to work with Cuban because he is a gigantic asshole." Mavfans would have a coronary, but it's just as valid as what Cuban is saying. There are plenty of reasons why a conference/division rival would not trade with the Mavs.
The Suns?! They wouldn't trade with the Spurs either.
Maybe so. I tend to remember stuff I guess (especially when Cubes commenting on my team).
Maybe it's in comparison to Holt, Pop, and Buford who have next to nothing to say and are pretty milk toast.
Cuban burns bridges becasue he thinks he can just pay for new ones.
Maybe the way he did Don nelson makes some hesitant to deal with him as well...
Cuban has been good at overvaluing talent for years. See Shawn Bradley, Marion, Haywood, Van Horn, and the many other absurd contracts he has handed out over the years. His opinion on greater value could never be trusted.
And this is exactly why I keep saying there is no reason for spurfans to get their panties in a wad. He stated the obvious that teams have varying relationships with each other in the trade market, and noted that there were instances where it happened between him and previous Spurs employees, which isnt anything that should be a shocker.No .

It's being taken completely the wrong way because 1) these are spurfans we are talking about, they get asshurt about anything Maverick or Laker related, and 2) the le of the thread made it seem like hes running around ing, when in fact he was just answering a question he was asked on a local radio show.
I didn't hear the show, but Norm isn't one to try to incite something for the sake of a good soundbyte. Had Cuban been responding to something Dan McDowell or Snake/Danny asked, then I could imagine there was some venom intended in the question.
Obvious answer is (apparently) obvious. Norm isn't known for his hard-hitting interviews.
I, however, still reserve the right to become irate when Terry answers what color the sky is...
Understandable.
Ive said in the past, I can really understand why spurfans dont like a guy like Terry, but Cuban hasnt really done anything malicious to the Spurs, and consistently shows respect toward that organization and team. The worst thing he did was call the riverwalk a dirty river or something like that, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Spurs. Or I guess when he said he "hates" the Spurs, but talking more in a team rivalry standpoint than anything, but quickly reiterated that he has the utmost respect for the Spurs and aknowledged how well run their organziation is, and how the Mavs strive to win championships as they have.
Spurfans just get too emotional over their team (since its all they have I guess), and any time there is a comment made about the Spurs, if its not sucking the spurs off, then instantly its a slight, and they get all asshurt.
If Mark Cuban would shut the up and act like a professional, that's probably less likely to happen. When half the league's teams have an ex-Spur in their front office or on their coaching staff, what does he expect? Interesting to see that he hasn't learned a lesson about being careful what he says.
As for the second part, guys on ESPN radio up here read Spurstalk. They're obviously confusing the Spurs with the Spurs fanbase on the Brewer issue. The Mavs would have claimed him off waivers before they let the Spurs have him. Getting him was a longshot, and anyone with a brain knew that.
I am actually just entertained by Cuban tbh. He is a never-ending source of amusement.
He's always been obsessed with the Spurs and what they have... and the Mavs don't.
What hes suggesting is true...and so what? Business' do business with familier or loyal ties all the time.
If he wasn't such a jackass teams would wanna deal w him more. You can't consistantly bash other team's players, coaches, front offices, CITIES and then expect people to wanna deal with you.
That is preposterous. You are absolutely wrong about that. Could it be you are too biased to notice? Obviously!
I live here too and for the most part it is a great place to live although the most beautiful part of Texas is the Austin/San Antonio/Hill Country corridor IMHO, but to try to delude others into believing that there isn't way too much hot air over the airwaves here. That is simply not true, others have mentioned it many many times before and I deal with it on a daily basis, end of story

Vast Spurs Bias Conspiracy.
It is no mistake that Cuban is known as one of the biggest, if not the biggest, whiners in the NBA. Few will deal with someone like that especially with all the bashing he does, or encourages his players like Terry to do.
Besides, I don't recall the Spurs doing any dealings with any division rivals except Houston and that was in the Scola fiasco, and there were no Spurs pedigrees in place there.
And don't tell me he believes in CIA Pop.
What the are you talking about?That is preposterous. You are absolutely wrong about that. Could it be you are too biased to notice? Obviously!

Don't plat coy all of sudden, it doesn't behoove you!
Either you are trying to be funny and are failing miserably, or you are ing re ed.Don't plat coy all of sudden, it doesn't behoove you!
Is that the best you can do? Pathetic!
Whose exactly butthurt? Defending Cuban, a whiny , makes you come across as a butthurt Mavs fan Phillip.
He's just in denial that nobody likes him. Trying to put excuses here and there, but the truth is nobody likes him.
Cuban's just setting more bridges on fire. It's ironic that his past actions have likely led to his current predicament.
The problem is because you are stupid enough to think that we literally were talking about "hot air" being in DFW, in terms of weather. I can't tell whether you are actually being re ed enough to think that I feel that DFW does not literally get hot, or if you are trying to be funny and put a play on the words used of "hot air", or if you actually understood what we were talking about (hot air being Cuban talking nonsense), and are making an incorrect claim considering Cuban hasnt really said much if anything at all lately about the Spurs.
Then I guess the spurfans here who had the same sentiments as I did are butthurt as well, as there were several spurfan posters here who likewise claimed that it was taken out of context by dumbass gnsf like yourself and that he pretty much stated the obvious, something that should be no suprise to any of us.
