yeah what the
The biggest mistake in Mavs history was Cuban becoming owner. He destroyed Dallas by himself. They are now a joke team and all the refs hate them.
Ummm... there's a rule on the site you can't cuss in thread les. Get over yourself.
They went from Western Conference whipping boy to NBA finalists during his ownership. Personally I think he's a bag, but as an owner he wasn't shy about dropping the dollars to build a winner. Ask Clippers or Sonics fans how terrible an owner they think Cuban is.
AIDS?
?
wheres the cussing there?
@ thinking " breath" isn't cussing.
dude seriously, is this really that big a deal?
Yeah, but it seems he is moving on to the Cubs now. This Mavs offseason has been . They are basically the same team as last year with no upgrades.
no not really. just curious where the cussing was.
I wonder what Richard Breath will bring to the table.
that isnt really even a word
Yeah, they had a .350 winning percentage before he took over, had missed the playoffs 11 straight years. Now they have 8 straight seasons of 51+ wins , haven't missed the playoffs since 2000 and have won 8 playoff series. Do you realize just how ing stupid you sound?
Honestly, I think George is a little underrated. He's not that good and due to him being in the spotlight for so many years with the Lakers, his weaknesses are more well known than most other semi scrubs. He sucked last year but I kinda wanted the Spurs to sign him because he's big and can play adequate defense at multiple positions. Then again, I wanted the Spurs to sign him for the minimum . . .
I just can't believe the Mavs re-signed him after that fiasco last season. I guess George ended up being right about vetoing that trade.
Laker Fan remains as the dumbest fans in the basketball world.
Aw, I have a tear in my eye. No, not that one its fake due to cancer.
He took a paycut. Blocking the trade was about preserving his Bird rights and theoretically keeping him in line for a payday.
Your an idiot. Cuban completely flipped the mavs org upside down into a winning franchise from what it was.
Yeah but if he had no Bird rights, the Mavs couldn't have given him as much as they did. His Bird rights might be the only thing that kept him from getting the minimum.
That's a good point, it's probably also how the Mavs were able to retain his services since nobody else could give him anything over the vet min.
I think the George fiasco is a perfect microcosm of the cons of having Cuban as an owner. I like that he spends money and is committed to fielding a winner, but it wasn't good form to throw a hissy fit like that in public. Even if it had only cost them retaining George's services, other players and agents probably weren't impressed with the way he threw George and his agent under the bus.
As for George, I guess I'm okay with the signing. It doesn't cost us much, and he's the same kind of player as James Posey, although he's not nearly as good as him. Every team needs a perimeter defender that can knock down three's. George's outside shot is inconsistent though...
I think Cuban is waiting on how this team performs to determine whether he'll be a buyer or seller in February. He took quite the tax hit on acquiring Kidd, and he probably doesn't want to increase the payroll anymore unless it's February and it looks like this team is close to getting over the hump. We're not a le contender right now, but we are a playoff team. There might be a team looking to dump salary around the trade deadline.
