"It's Dallas, baby!"

Would Haywood resign for $65 million, knowing that they just took on a $12 million expiring and have a raging hard-on for Chris Paul, who they hold onto hope will go on the trading block at some point? Yeah, I think he would.

Missing the point, you are. He can get money from a number of teams. He won't be happy if he's sitting on the bench and playing limited minutes. He was whining in the playoffs and he'd only been with the team a few months. Imagine what could happen as he's battling with Chandler for minutes.

Dallas was never close to getting Chris Paul, Lebron, Bosh, or anyone else.

lol winning tradition. If Dallas got the 1st overall pick in 1997 instead of San Antonio, they'd be the team with the "winning tradition".

I think the city is fiscally liberal aka "gimme da money whitey!"

but socially conservative. There are plenty of areas in the city limits where you still can't buy any alcohol whatsoever.

- make your jokes about first-round exits and choking, but after 10 years, the Mavs have a tradition now of winning and being compe ive. That sure beats plying your trade for the Clippers, Kings or Wolves.

Can somebody help me out here?

Wait... are you for or against??

I watched an episode of The First 48 the other day and it featured a murder somewhere in Dallas. Now, a murder isn't all that uncommon from where I'm from--but the fact that the guy supposedly sliced his victim up with a ninja sword and then proceeded to use his ATM/Debit/POS card to buy a PS2 was definitely an interesting twist. I mean, why murder someone and but a PS2???
