I know one thing, the Mavs fans have envious problems from our perspective.
True
But it tends to be a what have you done for me lately kind of mentality in sports.

I said it when it was happening, it was a brutal move to rip apart a championship team like that no matter the odds of the repeat. Cuban made a mess of things but like entitlement said, he still deserves respect because he won it. You can try to discredit that but you don't win it by chance. I'd prefer him over Rogers and Bell.
Just pointing out his gamble of blowing up the championship team has not paid off.

You know exactly what Cuban wants to achieve and you know the bottom line isn't going to be a barrier.

It was Terry, Barea, Brewer, Haywood, and Stevenson as well.
But yeah, I totally agree with you.

Does anyone think that Cuban blowing up his team after a championship and not letting them defend their title soured his reputation among players and/or agents?
I'm thinking yes.

Top Ten Best Moves of The Summer
You can check out the Insider article for the other nine but here is the one I really care about:
Masai Ujiri to Toronto Raptors (5 years, $15 million)Ujiri's move from the Denver Nuggets to Toronto as general manager may prove far more meaningful than most of this summer's player transactions.Ujiri fleeced the New York Knicks out of a first-round pick in the process of shedding Andrea Bargnani's onerous contract.Since management doesn't count against the salary cap, there's an argument to be made that GMs are undervalued. Ujiri, who is making about the same per year as a typical eighth man, may prove that point if he can turn the Raptors around.
In other news they named Calderon signed for $29M by Dallas as one of the worst moves.Tags: None
