    First helping the Warriors by trading for Barnes, second giving away Williams to the Cavs. What jerks.

    Remember: if they didn't fork over max money for Parsons we probably wouldn't be in this situation right now.

    Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Their run is over for the forseeable future.

    they will quickly see how hard it is to field a competitive team. Cuban was blessed with Dirk when he bought the team.

    Pretty much this.

    I scratch your back, you scratch mine.

    Not just vets but other clients [of whoever these agents are].

    "Hey, how/why did Dallas get a meeting with [big time free agent]?!"

    Never? They were perennial 50+ win teams for a decade. I'd say that's being the bride.
