Cuban claims Spurs bias in trade talks

[jsandiego]

Not if my buddies wanted me to make an inferior deal with a neutral company because they had a rivalry with a company offering a better deal.

lol economics lecture

No, it means you deal with your buddies first because you are familiar with them. Not a lecture, just an observation. People don't always do deals based on immediate economic outcomes.

You'd be surprised about how business really operates.

When you guys have owned, operated and sold two successful businesses at a profit, then you can feel free to be condescending jackasses. Until then, stfu, k?

Nope they don't. Thank you for Scola by the way

Rivals usually involve both teams being good, tbh. Trading to the rockets was OK since you always suck.

The only time other teams like Cubes/Pubes is when they extort the ususal $3MM in cash to complete a transaction.

If you ask for it and he's willing to do it, why not?

I think the last time the Spurs made a trade with dallas was the Leon Smith (remember him? HA!HA!) draft day deal in 1999. SA drafted that guy and sent him to dallas and Smith proceeded to go crazy - out of the league in a year or so. I think the guy was bi-polar or had fetal alcohol syndrome.

Hey Marky, stop crying. Your brain can't process our awesomeness - stop trying. Just sit bak and enjoy the show! WINNING!

The premise that a team would somehow turn down the opportunity to make their team better just to spite Puban is hilarious. We're not the Lakers, Mark.

Anyway, the one thing he does better than run his mouth is play the victim card. It's the mentality of a loser owner with a loser team.

Choke in the Finals? Blame the refs.

Choke at the trade deadline? Blame the Spurs.

The rumors here in Dallas are that Jeff Green is the player in question.

He was probably offering up Dominique Jones and Brian Cardinal or some garbage like that for him

[Danny.Zhu]

Rockets also has Spurs bias in trade talks so they are more willing to trade Spanoulis to Spurs rather than Mavs.

In before "whining".

But again, of course he has a point. Why you think the Grizzlies did the Gasol trade over night without even consulting offers over several days.

Gasol was on the trading block for quite a while, but nobody wanted him. Apparently he wasn't even worth Deng, Gordon, and PJ Brown. After a year of no-takers, Grizz owner became desperate, wanted to maximize $saving$, and the Lakers happened to have the largest expiring contract in Jan 2008.

because in this case, its about the Spurs/Mavs rivalry. like I just posted, i strongly doubt that people who were heavily involved in the Lakers/Celtics rivalry would want to have dealings with those teams.

in that case, Jerry West giftwrapped Gasol to LA, because he is still a Laker at heart.

The bolded is probably the dumbest thing I ever saw posted on SpursTalk. I was lurking this thread until I saw this bull . Here is a timeline for ya ass:

2007 - Jerry West left the Grizzlies July 1st

He said Tuesday he will leave as the Grizzlies' director of basketball operations July 1 at the end of his contract. Injuries, losses, weariness and uncertainty became too much.

2008 - Lakers acquire Pau Gasol February 1st

Acquired forward-center Pau Gasol and a 2010 second-round pick from the Memphis Grizzlies for center Kwame Brown, guards Aaron McKie and Javaris Crittenton, the draft rights to Marc Gasol and first-round picks in 2008 and 2010; signed C D.J. Mbenga to second 10-day contract.

Logo had NO part in the Gasol trade. NONE. Now quit posting this bull . It makes you seem dumb and butthurt.

As for Cuban, him. Christian Laettner was this close to being a Laker until they stepped in and ed it up. Shaq, Kobe, Laettner would have been nice and would have extended the Lakers' championship window. So if the Spurs' pedigree kept that bas from improving his team, I raise a glass to that franchise:

LOL Faker fans trying to get away with one of the most unbalanced trade ever
