Can we fast forward to it?

What's the point? I don't see us getting a big FA next year either.

Trade Dirk for picks.

START OVER

Cuban did it once...he can do it again.

We have one of the best three point shooters now

Serious question: is Chris Gatling the biggest free-agent signing in Mavericks history?

Cuban won't trade Dirk, but I wonder if he's going to make a run at LeBron or Wade in 2014.

It's true.

Cuban is slowly but surely turning into Jerry Jones

You're assuming they won't get anyone else on the roster. The Mav's free up a lot of cap space in 2014.

You mean Don Nelson.

I don't think Cuban is turning into Jerry - that would take 20 years of mediocrity.

We've swung for the fences several times in a league with very few truly dominant players. It happens - they will just have to keep working to rebuild.

Cuban has actually done just the opposite of Jerry in my opinion. Instead of taking on large contracts the past couple of years, he forfeited any chances at titles in those years to keep cap space and try to land a big fish. In hindsight it didn't work out, but that's not something Jerry would have done. Jerry would have signed mediocre players to big contracts promising that they could lead us to another title, leaving us with no cap space for a big fish.

I'll admit we are ****ed. But I don't see it as Cubans fault. I feel like he has done the only thing we could try, and it just hasn't worked out. I don't blame him for the big names not wanting to come to dallas for some reason.

Calling Cuban Jerry Jones is idiotic....wanting to trade Dirk is also idiotic....they both brought us a championship only two years ago?? You can't honestly be an actual mavs fan if you want to trade Dirk. Dirk is a maverick and should retire on his own schedule as such. Anything different would disappointing.

Marc Stein's reporting the Mavs are in hot pursuit of Bynum now. If that matriculates, is he more or less like Jerry Jones?

Ok, I should have prefaced. In terms of the Draft and evaluating young talent Cuban might as well be Jerry. Cubans abuse of the draft is one reason why we are in this mess.

Pretty much the only good things we have going for us:
Healthy Dirk
Carlisle
And... I feel pretty good about Larkin

I feel good about Larkin too. I think that guy can play. Mavs track record for developing prospects... cause for concern.

It seems like they are taking the correct approach with Bynum. Still... yuck.

One has no bearing on the other.

In regards to Larson, our last ACC player of the year worked out pretty great.

I have no problem with what has been done. It just didn't work out and that happens in sports.

A healthy Bynum changes everything. Arguably better than Dwight.

Did you really just say a healthy Bynum is arguably as good as Dwight? Mav fans say the darnest things lmfao...

No sane person would argue that.

Remember when simplebay used to make that argument?

Wow. Classic Dallas!

No words

Devin Harris 3 year 9+ million. I guess they plan on playing him at the 2 a lot or they don't think Larkin is ready to get any PT.

You're right.

Can't trade Dirk.

Mavs will win 50 games next season and make the playoffs. Mavs would've made the playoffs this past season had Dirk been healthy all season...that would've been pretty impressive taking that collection of **** into the PO.

Devin Harris *****es.

Parker's only weakness.
