"Various scenarios" could involve another sign-and-trade with Dallas, right?

And I'm prepared to go down with the Dallas Sports anic.

Good. That means no D12 in Dallas. Get er done Cubes!

No D12 for you either.

sounds a wicked move here. dallas showed TC the door and then they are about to acquire another expiring contract so that they can avoid getting committed to another putrid contract (already have one in haywood). when dirk gets washed out and Kidd retires the mavs can start rebuilding right away, free from any bad stocks

for the ones 1 championship isnt enough

for mark & donnie, it IS enough

Dalembert's 30 years old so while he's up there, he's not "on his last season" old. I would doubt he'd go for a one year deal or an extremely cheap salary. If the point of letting Chandler walk is to keep the possibility of signing D12 or Deron Williams open, then signing Dalembert doesn't make much sense to me. If Dallas can trick Dalembert to signing a one year deal, then they're a lot smarter and more persuasive than I ever thought.

Wow, not signing Chandler looks like an awful move right about now when you look at who is going to be available next summer (I'm not listing any RFAs).

1. Dwight Howard -- Says he wants to play in either Brooklyn or LA.
2. Chris Paul -- No way he leaves LA; he'll probably sign an extension once the trade becomes official.
3. Deron Williams -- A good chance if Howard gets shipped to LA. Otherwise, no chance he leaves when he can get Dwight there.

Then the talent level just drops off a cliff:
4. Ramon Sessions
5. Gerald Wallace (player option)
6. Chris Kaman
7. Lamar Odom (New Orleans almost certainly doesn't pickup the team option)
8. Ray Allen
9. Steve Nash
10. Goran Dragic
11. Andre Miller
12. Mehmet Okur

Though $60 million for Chandler is ing nuts. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation for Dallas.

Exactly. I understand the financial aspect...even Chandler did. But it really freaking sucks.

I'm mystified. Chandler by all accounts brought the defensive intensity that let Dallas take the next step and actually, finally, win a ring. So now you let that guy walk? GTFO.
