Kidd, Armstrong, Malik Allen, for Devin Harris, Stackhouse,Diop, Ager and George

[TeyshaBlue]

Well, regardless of the roller coaster ride of trade then no trade, this proves that Dallas was really desperate to make a trade, as the others, to dispense our Spurs in the playoffs even though they said they weren't. This speaks volumes now that we've seen Cuban with his pants down. Go George!!

I dont think this trade was meant to "dispense" the Spurs. The Kidd-less Mavs were capable of that.

The Sporks success is due to the magic sporks they wear in their socks!

Are you trying to be funny? Sorry I don't get your weird desire to post on another teams board to equate a reply or rise to justify that you do exist as a nome.

Back to your basement!

Cuban doesn't care about the long-term ramifications of the deal. In the past five years, he's had Steve Nash, Jason Terry, Devin Harris and now Jason Kidd as his PGs.

Say what you want, but the Mavs make moves.

Say what you want, but those moves haven't resulted in championships. The current rationale for acquiring Kidd up here is that he's "been to the finals", which is odd since the entire Dallas roster has been to the finals, too.

Yeah, like a hooker trying not to get caught by the cops during a city convention.

[lonestr]

Cuban's been walking around with his pants down since the disaster that was the 2005-2006 NBA Finals.

Ouch!

[Findog]

And of course the Spurs' success is due solely to Duncan and Robinson and not to players like, say, Tony Parker, Emmanuel Ginobili, and Bruce Bowen.

Let's see the Spurs field a dynasty with Tony Longoria or Manu as their best players.

[T Park]

awwwww Dallas fan got hurt.

[Buddy Holly]

We can't all win the #1 drat pick...

Twice.

What does that have to do with anything?

Sincerely,

Yoa Ming, Kwame Brown, Kenyon Martin, Elton Brand and so on and so forth.

Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Manz. Then why the trade at all? Don't tell me, Cuban is really scared of the Warriors.

Why do Mavs fans come on this forum when the stench of the past two years' choke jobs hang heavy in the air?

[Agloco]

We can't all win the #1 drat pick...

Twice.

Better choice of words here:

We can't all make the right decision with the number one draft pick...

Twice.

[Spurminator]

We can't all convince our #1 draft picks to stick with our team for their entire career.

The Grizzlies make moves too. Your point?

No doubt the spurs success is solely due to Duncan . They could not win without him.

More important than that is building a championship team around Tim Duncan. Twice. He had opportunities to leave. Timmy, great as he is, would still only have one ring without Manu and Parker.

[Holt's Cat]

No doubt the spurs success is solely due to Duncan . They could not win without him.

And he could not win 3 les without Parker and Ginobili.

[Ghost Writer]

Oh, please.

What has the front office done besides luck out with two #1s?

All we do is bring in old veterans via free agency or pick up guys off waivers.

[Spurminator]

What has the front office done besides luck out with two #1s?

Kept them.

[Ghost Writer]

Kept them.

Whoopie!

[Spurminator]

I know it's not as exciting as annual roster shuffling for the likes of Antoine Walker, but Spurs fans should appreciate the way the team has managed to convince two Hall of Famers to stick with their small-market team despite the opportunity for more fame and lucrative endorsement deals elsewhere. I'm sure most Spurs fans do.

Fame? Yeah, that's what Robinson and Duncan are all about.

Endorsement deals? They both have their share of opportunities for non-marketable (quiet and classy) stars.

Get a grip.

The front office took care of them financially and the Twin Towers were happy to stay out of the spotlight in San Antonio.

The front office has never been able to actively surround Duncan with any star-quality talent outside of the draft.

Why is that?

[SenorSpur]

For everyone who hates Mark Cuban, it's looking more and more as though HE was the one who ed this trade up. According to Dallas sports talk radio, Cuban alone, was in negiotiations with Nets President Rod Thorn on the details and components of this trade. It looks as though HE failed to communicate the trade idea back to Stackhouse, George and the other principals involved. Therefore, he never knew about the trade clause in George's contract. Then Stackhouse started running his mouth before the trade was finaized.

Why is that?

Whatever works.

[E20]

Because no one wants to come to San Antonio.

[fyatuk]

Fame? Yeah, that's what Robinson and Duncan are all about.

The front office has never been able to actively surround Duncan with any star-quality talent outside of the draft.

Why is that?

Because it's cheaper to build through the draft if you are good with your scouting.

And really old people are cheaper than people in their prime.

And it's been proven time and again the the best # of stars on a team is more than 1 and less than 4, so when you have what you think are 3, why try and get more.

Aka, it's not that they've been unable, but had no reason to.
