    Not sure how credible this site is ...but it sure is funny. they predict conley to Spurs so take it with a grain of salt ...

    http://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2016/6/...499.1381943182

    be a compe ive playoff team in Dirk's twilight years. That's all we really want, right?

    Instead, the Mavericks appear to be shooting for the stars again. And again, they will likely miss the stars, slingshot back to earth, detonate upon impact and burn everyone to the goddamn ground. The sun rises in the East, sets in the West and the Mavs will never land a big-name free agent. That's how this works.

    I even predicted a doomsday scenario back in April, but was mainly joking. Instead, it appears the Mavericks really are gonna put Deron Williams through the Tyson Chandler ringer, ask him to sit tight while they court another player to take his position in hopes he'll stick around when the Mavs inevitably fail to bring in Conley.

    Oh, and they will fail. Not only are the Mavericks chasing Conley, they're doing so with the same Holier Than Thou approach that has led to the previous summers of death. The Mavs aren't pitching money, because Memphis can better them. They aren't pitching contention, because the Spurs (who are also interested in Conley) can beat them in spades. Instead, the Mavericks are pitching to Conley to give up some stuff to come to Dallas for the greater good.

    why should Conley sacrifice anything to come to a team that hasn't sniffed a first-round victory in over three years? Why should he sacrifice being a true floor general to have Carlisle tell him what to do every time up the floor just to scrape by with 48 wins and a seventh seed? Why should Conley be asked to sacrifice anything when the face of the franchise, Dirk, has sacrificed so much and seen so little since he was asked to be patient in 2011?

    But ... no. They won't. I've seen this movie five times in the last five years. It has the same ending. The Mavericks will open free agency by meeting with Conley. They'll ask Williams to be "loyal" and chill while the Mavericks publicly try to replace him.

    Williams will tell the Mavs to suck a tailpipe and pounce on the first big-money contract that comes his way. As soon as Williams, Lin and the other free agent point guards agree to their contracts, Conley will come to a decision.

    He'll decide to join a new team for the first time in his NBA career. That team will be from Texas.

    It will be the Spurs.

    Hey, misery loves company ...Cubes!!!

    Mavs are on the brink it appears and I really wonder if Dirk will leave. Almost unthinkable but no one would blame him and they have only themselves (and DeAndre Jordan) to blame.

    They wouldn't be contenders even with DeContract, tbh. In fact, they should be thanking him for backing out and not weighing them down with his albatross of a contract.

    Parsons is overrated, but Dirk's gotta be upset that he's gone. Is he gonna take a paycut for Cuban to sign Evan Turner and Festus Ezeli?

    Conley ain't going to the Spurs unless Tony gets traded or agrees to come off the bench.

    In other words, not going to happen.

    I may hate cubes but I hope Dirk doesnt leave.
    But I dont see why he should take a pay-cut either though ...

    Dirk should go be a 6th man in Cleveland for the MLE and get himself another ring, while Dallas tanks and rebuilds.

    Free Agents treat the Mavs like beta orbiters. When it comes to free agency, the Mavs are the "nice guy who would make a great boyfriend to the right person someday."

    In a way, Cuban has been cursed with too much money to throw around... He has been quick to overpay role players and take on projects that other teams would avoid at almost all costs. You'd think players would view Dallas as a destination where they'd be well taken care of, but I think it has turned into a spot more known for sloppy team building and the undisciplined assembling of pieces that don't fit...

    Dirk ed himself. Both he and Jim deserve this. They made fun of Kobe robbing the bank but Kobe saw all tbis coming and took his off the top. You got Jim playing for 5 million measly bucks. Guys that will never sniff an allstar selection that's going to make more than Jim. What a ing loser.

    ^ this tbh....

    Kobe saw the tea leaves...due to the Buss's running he took the money and ran out the door.(and dropped his 60 on the way out)....and they say hindsight is 20/20 but Kobe hit a home run with that foresight...

    Spur fan laughing at Kobe mocking him for the 2 yr 50 mill contract but it was sage as sage can get...

    Cuban low key oversaw one of the most disastrous post-championship run in modern era..also there has to be something off-putting about him personally in those recruitment meetings

    Yep, and where are the Lakers right now?

    Where are the Spurs?

    You couldn't even get a meeting with Durant, the lure is over, no one wants to play for you, Mozgov was your big signing with all that cap space...

    Your team is Philly West, without Simmons...
