if dwight just opts out like he has half a brain, they are both free to sign where they choose
1. Dallas can offer both Dwight and Dwill max FA contracts if they work things right. They obviously couldn't offer Dwill as much as NJ can, but they can offer him as much as any other team.
2. Dirk+Dwight+Dwill is enough talent.
3.a Cuban-type owner? I wish Dallas had one of does!
ETO not knowing about Dallas's ability to offer contracts. Under no cir stances could Dallas offer both Dwight/Deron max contracts
That doesn't make it likely like you saidy or me wrong (like you also said). I explained why and now you are trying to set yourself up so that no matter what you aren't wrong
It really wasn't a possibility to get both in the real world. Turned out I was correct (along with other level headed posters who took a step back to assess the reality of the situation).
i said it was a possibilityThat doesn't make it likely like you saidy or me wrong (like you also said). I explained why and now you are trying to set yourself up so that no matter what you aren't wrong
You said I was wrong too.
for acting like it wasn't even a remote possibility yes. dwight opting in then wanting back out was the re edness that no one saw coming. it made things difficult.
So you still contend I was wrong and you weren't?
You keep making stuff up - Even if Dwight didn't opt in, it wasn't likely at all he ends up with Dallas with Deron. At all. You are just making that up.
Yes because you were acting like it wasn't even a remote possibility and I felt it was up until Dwight acted like an idiot and opted back in. The two had been alluding to teaming up in Dallas for some time now, Deron is from here, and they still have Dirk. The biggest kicker of all is that any player would want to play for an owner like Cuban.
Deron himself even said that even WITHOUT dwight, he was leaning towards dallas until the meeting where cuban didn't even show up. He said that is when he decided to stay in New Jersey. So yes I don't think it's ridiculous to say that there was a solid possibility of them teaming up in Dallas. I never said it would for sure happen, I didn't take anywhere near that solid of a stance. I said it could happen. And I believe there was a strong chance it does of Dwight wasn't such a dumb monkey. It's just my opinion you don't have to agree.
Yeah there was a radio interview where deron said he was leaning Dallas before the meeting and was disappointed when Mark didn't show up. I guess we really ed up at that meeting for him to change his mind. The joe Johnson trade didn't help our chances either
Yeah that interview he said he was planning on choosing Dallas, then the Cuban no-show plus Brooklyn getting Joe Johnson and promising to make a run at Dwight Howard basically changed his mind.
lol DPG was right for the wrong reasons, Mavs fans were wrong for the right reasons.
No - even if they get Deron - getting Dwight too is not a realistic possibility.
1) If Cuban really thought it was possible to get Deron/Dwight - you don't think he would have been there if he placed importance on it?
2) I'm sure the fact NJ could offer him 100M and Dallas could offer him ~75M had no bearing on the choice
Intersting too look back at who said what and how it unfolded. Even more interesting to see these comments
Maybe he is just playing with the media then but he actually said he was "leaning towards Dallas prior to the meeting" and that he didn't like how Cuban was a no show. Who knows what happens of Cuban does show up instead of filmin his stupid ass show?
It's all a moot point now though, we should be looking forward to OJ Mayo and how he plays compared to Danny Green

This is a transcript of the interview. Says absolutely nothing about Cuban. Mentions Joe Johnson, but I guess Mav fan wasn't wrong about wanting to play with Dirk/for Cuban if he choose Joe F*cking Johnson. Oh yea, that boat load of extra money also played a role.
You know the difference in this and that? I have a chance to be right
Point is, Mav fan didnt have an understanding of the rules/reality. They kept basing their premise off the fact Dallas could offer "both Dwight and Deron max contracts". That was never possible and poked a giant hole in that theory.
As the season goes on, I am sure the Dwight Howard saga will be very interesting to the Mavs. They have to be praying he truly hits FA (not gets traded to a team he agrees to resign with, goes to FA just as a formality...).
Looking back at some of the comments, it's not always easy to see the big picture, especially when you don't know all the details, so it's hard to imagine being wrong in the moment (Cuban with his plan and his thinking before this all played out). What is strange is seeing you are wrong and not admitting it like some posters/GM's, but luckily Cubes is smarter and did not panic.
Does anyone think Deron/Dwight to Dallas was just as likely. I don't see it the same way so I was wondering what other smart posters thought.
Even though Deron wouldn't love to play for Cuban, considering he had his chance, do other smart posters think any player would love to play for Cuban because I don't see it that way.
I mean, Deron would have loved to play for Cuban (and with Dirk) even though he choose not to. Joe Johnson is very appealing.
not sure about the personal charm of cuban but dallas would be a more favorable choice if they could offer him equal amount of money, no state tax if he played for dallas, for example. mavs just got screwed by the new CBA. dudes should've realized it was extremely difficult to lure big-name FAs to join your team and leave 30m on the table tbh
Oh, thanks Latarian. So you are saying that those posters acting like it was likely and saying the Mavs could offer both Deron and Dwight max contracts really didn't know what they were talking about?
That's a good point - knowing the CBA and how it works is a great way to go about givng a basketball opinion.
$26 mil on the table.
