Dallas wants LeBron

[Shifty]

But not for Dirk....

...nor Kidd!

I kept looking for the punchline but it never came

[ffadicted]

wtf: "Yes there are way to keep Dirk Kidd and Butler and still get Lebron"

I have nothing to say to this

[timvp]

By the way, if the Mavericks can get LeBron for Butler and Dampier, they would do it in one second. In fact, they would probably let the Cavaliers pick anybody on the team not named Dirk, with the possible exception of Jason Kidd, and do the deal.

Oh shyt that is funny

[Findog]

I don't see the Cavs participating in any S&Ts for LeBron, and that's the only way Dallas could get him. If he wants to leave Cleveland, he'll have to do it for a team like the Knicks that has oodles of cap space and nothing else.

[Goran Dragic]

Kidd is the 2nd best player in the NBA, Cubes is smart not to trade him even if he wants Lebron.

This. I don't see Cleveland helping a team take their franchise. Cleveland is about to give more money than any other team. A S&T takes away that leverage.

Really?!!?!? No need to rush into anything.

Who the wouldn't trade Dirk for LeBron? I'd trade the entire Spurs team for LeBron.

with the possible exception of Jason Kidd

OMG.

[clambake]

if this is possible...then the bonner, finley and mason for lebron thing must have legs.

[lurker]

Maybe they're hoping Dirk will still go through with his plan of opting out and resigning for less money.

[pauls931]

Why is Kidd even mentioned, no one wants him, he's old. Dallas has nothing cleveland would trade LBJ for. Very few teams have anything that can unroot him right now. You'll have to wait for the end of the season have quality players and a load of cash.

[djohn2oo8]

And I want 250 million dollars, a private jet to the Bahamas, and the Mavs to win a ring one day

[Drachen]

By the way, if I can get 350 million dollars for my 2002 Buick Rendezvous and my 2006 Honda Rebel, I would do it in one second.

If Dirk wants a ring so bad, why doesn't he opt out and sign for like one year for the vet minimum, so Dallas can have the $$ to get him some quality help? He's already set financially for life, and I'm sure Tony Cubes can take care of him down the line with some "Special Consultant to the GM" fake gig for a boatload of money after he retires.

[Phonzie20]

LOL. Does the guy that reported that actually get paid?

Maybe in Cuban dollars.

[benefactor]

[Drachen]

Mavs fans, you know your fan base better than we do. I have to ask, is there even one, just one Mavs fan that could even attempt to take this seriously.

I agree, but some of the people in Dirk's life like Holger will probably advise him not to.

[Thunder Dan]

Ferry might consider trading JJ Hickson for Dirk

[Thunder Dan]

I wonder if the Mavs would do this trade.

Mavs Get: Lebron James and Dwight Howard
Magic Get: Dampier and Beaubois
Cavs Get: Jason Terry, Tim Thomas and Matt Carroll

It says you increased Orlando's projected wins by 2.

[mavs>spurs2]

People laugh but I could see Lebron coming to a big market like Dallas to play for an owner like Cuban if we had major capspace to sign him, but that's the problem, we don't. @ the thought of the Cavs giving him up in a sign and trade.
