And who paid all of those players? Who changed the way the entire organization was run, from top to bottom? Who had a say in bringing in the right mix of players, the right assistants, the head coaching changes? Who took this team from a perennial joke to among the league's best? Who put the Mavs on the map? He has retooled the face of the franchise in his time here. I wish my owner could have had my team sitting in the middle of a ing dome for all those years. Cuban has turned the Dallas Mavericks into a well-run machine. Have you been around the AAC area recently? You believe Cuban has NOTHING to do with any of that development? He brought it to the city.

I know more about this team that you ever will. Don't try to call me out on some of your bull , boy.

He can do all that, but he can't hire someone to teach Dirk how to post.

Actually, that was Ross Jr's work.

cuban has helped the mavs but he has not always made the right moves

he is starting to not trade players every year so that helps. he fired nelson. that helped
but given time we see what he does. resigning nash might still have been a MISTAKE. especially considering he still is healthy.

This is also the guy that brought the Mavericks out of the dumps and into annual 50-60+ win seasons. He reshaped the NBA in Dallas and brought the city the AAC and now, Victory Plaza.

That's like Jenna Jameson opening a theme park and calling it "Abstinence Land."

And yet the team got better, winning 60 games this year.

the team has won 60 games before. why don't you bring up his most notable building effort - the bar inside the aac. he gets saps and celebs to hang out in there after the game and charges $7 and up for drinks. that's genius.

[picnroll]

Apart from attempting to manipulate refereeing to the advantage of the Mavericks under the guise of "only wanting to improve the league" Cuban has tried to build a winner in large part by far exceding the salary cap using his money and his markert size as a weapon. How is the best interest of the league that he professes to be so concerned about, which has many smaller market teams and owners with less resources, in maintaining a balanced and compe ive product?

Face it it's all about Marky, his ego and his gratification and his hypocrisy.

And who paid all of those players?

Wow, he didn't fail to make payroll. Put him in the business owner hall of fame.

Who changed the way the entire organization was run, from top to bottom?

He changed the way they sold tickets and micromanaged everyone else.

Who had a say in bringing in the right mix of players

Like the aforementioned Worm signing? Like letting Steve Nash go? Like re-signing Shawn Bradley to a long term deal? Like signing Antoine Walker? Like signing Evan Eschmeyer? Like trading Danny Fortson for Calvin Booth?

the right assistants, the head coaching changes?

You mean the head coaching change. Nelson made that change by hiring AJ and resigning last year. Cuban should't be credited for that one just because he didn't it up.

Who took this team from a perennial joke to among the league's best?

Don and Donn Nelson did.

Who put the Mavs on the map?

Don and Donn Nelson did.

He has retooled the face of the franchise in his time here.

You aren't completely wrong there; he has made himself the face of the franchise, and he is a complete ing tool.

I wish my owner could have had my team sitting in the middle of a ing dome for all those years. Cuban has turned the Dallas Mavericks into a well-run machine. Have you been around the AAC area recently? You believe Cuban has NOTHING to do with any of that development? He brought it to the city.

Mark Cuban bought a team that was already turning the corner, and cost them the playoffs in his very first year.

I know more about this team that you ever will. Don't try to call me out on some of your bull , boy.

Let me just say this: The bond for the AA center was passed in 1998, and the naming rights were purchased in 1999. Cuban didn't buy the team until 2000. I ing own you.

Cuban's crack ref research team has determined that the Mavs have been the recipient of the worst officiating in the history of basketball this season. Forget the '72 Olympics.
