But the Wizards organization is a joke. If it were just the city alone, Atlanta is a more desirable destination for your average NBA player than Dallas.
Dallas has a large black appeal are you kidding me..

I used to live in Dallas for about 20 yrs, and I am glad I am out of there. Trinity River smells like ass, I am sure Culby would be in heaven there.
There is a lot of racist people in that town (and being a Spaniard I know about racismbut these mother ers tell me to step aside), even at the professional levels. When I went to UTA, there were a couple of houses on the outskirts of the University that sported the Rebel flag. I know Arlington is close to Ft. Worth but it is too close for comfort.
Black people love Dallas, and it has nothing to do with country music.
That's just you being re ed and saying that because you live in the area. No one wants to live there or play for that team.
Oh god, someone in the southern united states donning a confederate flag. I don't think I've ever heard of such.I used to live in Dallas for about 20 yrs, and I am glad I am out of there. Trinity River smells like ass, I am sure Culby would be in heaven there.

The DFW suburbs are horrible, but the west side of Ft. Worth and certain Dallas neighborhoods like Lakewood and Kessler Park are great places to live.I used to live in Dallas for about 20 yrs, and I am glad I am out of there. Trinity River smells like ass, I am sure Culby would be in heaven there.

Kind of makes you wonder if those mofos are learning anything in college.
It's not racist, it's just a fact. Atlanta, and to a lesser extent Dallas, holds great appeal to African-Americans.
Tbh, Dallas epitomizes mediocrity. Not a complete hole but not even close to a cool city. Most professional athletes strive for perfection and wouldn't want to associate with mediocrity tbh.
Frisco, Plano, Southlake, Coppell, and Flower Mound are all great places to live. Rich white people, but still.. very nice.
is a native of san antonio uttering these words?
one thing the spurs get is that they generally recruit the players that fit the mold of the city. more cerebral types, family or low key types and tend to avoid the bigger personalities. whereas dallas may sometimes think it is on par with the major metro areas appeal to all players.
and as the spurs getting other players outside their usual realm that has alot to do with players having been attracted to the championship pedigree and the reputation of the organization.
dallas has no championship appeal to offer.
You keep glossing over the fact that the Wizards are a joke at this point.
So are a lot of NBA cities. DC doesn't stand out.
Not a native of SA. SA is where fun goes to get raped and die. Doesn't mean DFW is cool tho
I agree with this - the Spurs put more of an emphasis on getting guys that will fit into their system and ethos of unselfishness than a splashy, sexy name.
Only city that non-Texans like is Austin. Not even Chris Bosh wants to play for Texas and he's a god damn native
Well professional athletes disagree, because quite a few of them make that their home. Tiger Woods, Ken Griffey Jr just off the top of my head. Not all of them are white PGA tour members.
Well, in his case, he's a pussy who admitted that he doesn't want that kind of pressure of having to help carry a team to a le. And he won't have that pressure as a third option in Miami.Only city that non-Texans like is Austin. Not even Chris Bosh wants to play for Texas and he's a god damn native
What a mesmerizing skyline. Manhattanization of TX tbh
The ironic thing is that downtown Dallas has NO entertainment district, no reason to be there after 6 pm. West End is a hole tourist trap.
Findog, you've made some very compelling and valid points. Here's some insights from afar, as someone who lives in the metroplex.
According to everything I hear on local Dallas talk radio and from GM Donnie Nelson, the Mavs are fashioning a team they think can matchup with the Fakers. That's a clear objective and a reasonable goal - except for one thing - the Mavs have gotten outed in the 1st round of the playoffs 3 out of the last 4 years.
One of their problems is desparation. That type of desparation causes a team and an owner to overspend, overreact, forfeit assets (surrendering future 1st round picks in ill-advised trades - 2 to the Warriors in the Dampier trade and 2 more to the Nets in the Kidd trade).
The Mavs are constantly making changes hoping to find "instant oatmeal". Sometimes they make changes to undo changes made during previous transactions. There doesn't simply to be a clear objective. At times, and instead of addressing needs, they just seem to be adding players (and salaries) simply to stockpile talent. Almost like a fantasy team.
However, the core of their team simply isn't built to win a le. They have one truly great player (Nowitizki) and a bunch of expensive, former all-star caliber players, a very few role players. Furthermore, they're not a team that is built to win in the playoffs because they traditionally do not defend or rebound well enough. Aside from the Avery era, they haven't been as good defensively, before or since.
I can understand the sense of urgency because of the Nowitzki career countdown in progress. However, Cuban and Nelson seem to think that it's possible to catch "lightening in a bottle". With the exception of the 2009 Boston Celtics, championship teams are rarely built overnight or even over a summer.
Orlando is a hole.
