mainstream mono with the shameless hypocritical bads..
"Dirk played championship level defense."
"I just reverse jinxed"
You are kind of annoying now.
Did Dirk play basketball well enough to win a championship? Does basketball consist of playing offense and defense? So if Dirk won a championship, it means Dirk played championship level basketball, which includes both offense and defense. Ipso facto, Dirk played championship level defense.
Show me how this was so wrong. They still won a le, but that doesn't mean Cuban didn't ask Dirk to take less money and that doing a trade could have helped. Sure, they still ended up winning, but acting like they couldn't have improved or it was so obvious is silly. But I know you are just being y lately.
I'm pretty sure I said it was questionable they could win, not impossible and I stated my reasons why. They ended up winning because all the gambles paid off and Dirk went into super beast mode.It is a disaster. Cuban has handed out numerous terrible contracts, yes or no. Because of that, he asks the only guy that deserves to get paid in full, Dirk, to take less money with promises of putting guys around him in order to help him win.
Then, while it was questionable if the Mavs could win a le as is, they lose Caron Butler, which made it really, really questionable.
Then he stands pat and passes up opportunities to get better knowing damn well they don't have enough and he used the "we're clicking" argument.
Good argumentI guess Dirk has no reason to be upset.
The only one who was truly wrong about dem Mavs was everyone but Ghazi, but you quit just like TC. You didn't even give them a chance.
I know!
Hi DPG
You still think Dirk should be/should have been "furious" at Cuban?
In hindsight, no. At the time, when by all accounts the Mavs looked like long shots to win a le (not only were Mav fans bailing left and right, but most pundits counted them out as well due to the loss of Caron), it didn't seem right for Cuban to tighten up financially especially when he asked Dirk to take less money (when he had no right to do so).
At the time, maybe it did seem wrong. But in the end, Cubes was right.
And you keep (subtly) saying that Cubes asked Dirk to take less money. Like it was all Cubans idea. It was my understanding that Dirk just wanted to do it to help the team. Turning down all these endorsements this summer makes it kinda obvious that Dirk doesn't really care too much about money.
So then you agree with me. Just because the Mavs won a le doesn't mean every assessment was wrong. It just means they over came a lot of things and won.
It was Cuban's idea from what I know and your argument reinforces my point: If Dirk took less money to help the team, the only way that helps is if they use that money to increase the odds of them winning a le. Cubes, even though it worked out, tightened up. Dirk taking less money without Cubes adding to the roster doesn't help the team, that only helps Cubes wallet.
Wrong. Just like about dem Mavs, Tyson Chandler AND Wallace.
Exactly. He was. I also said it was a good gamble.
lol misspelling a user name = lol
More than I thought he was
"F*ck this franchise straight to "
Tyson on Tyson trade.
Not true. If I can link to where I said I was wrong, will you never post on ST again under Tyson or the Kool usernames?
Yes you are, but that isn't the point. Let's say you want to save face for some reason on that, would you agree to the deal just for the Tyson Chandler name?
That's what I thought. Quit talking then. Put up or shut up time.
You are one arrogant egotistical person and I cannot believe someone would act like that. You are so y and brash and disrespectful. You can't admit when you are wrong and have too much pride and false bravado.
You start thread after thread mocking those when you have made the same damn mistakes. You say you admitted you were wrong, but you don't act like it. Empty vessels make the loudest noises and you don't see me starting threads like you do.
It changes everything. It makes you a liar and puts you on blast to show when push comes to shove and you have to stand on your own two feet, you get it shoved in your overly confident face.
It's not a technicality when you act so brave and hurl accusations and lies just because you are stricken with guilt over how wrong you are.
I don't post in all your threads, so you are lying again. I can point out threads that you start just to call me out (even if you try and make it backhanded).
I'll admit when I'm wrong. Do you? Why do you feel the need to start so many threads and call others out when you are more wrong than anyone on here? Why can't you just be a man and own up to it?
Why do you have to prove yourself on here? Empty Vessels. . .
Yes.
