    I agree 100%. You guys are crazy if you think Dirk leaves Dallas to come down I-45 S...

    For everyone asking why would he leave, it's because winning is his main priority at this point. Already having a title doesn't change that. Sure, he wants to stay in Dallas. IF THEY CAN PUT A CONTENDING TEAM ON THE COURT. If they can't, then it's possible that he may leave.

    The Mavs have a ton of cap room to go shopping with. But if they strike out....

    Enough with the why would he leave crap. Hakeem left, Karl Malone left, Gary Payton left most faces of the franchise move on to chase chips.

    You have James Harden and Dwight Howard. What more is there to discuss? They offer a better chance with a higher ceiling to end his career.

    Or he can go to Miami or OKC...

    I can see Morey getting Rondo, then enticing Dirk to head down...or vice versa....

    Morey has that kind of power.

    Mavs could get really good, really fast if Dirk takes the minimum.

    Here's my dream:

    Get Rondo for Asik/TJones/1st Round Pick
    Get Josh Smith for Parsons/JLin/DMo
    Sign Dirk for the MLE.

    Rondo
    Harden
    Smith
    Dirk
    Howard

    Best team ever assembled?

    I'd rather us go after Marion for the minimum to bring some defense and veteran leadership (like...real veteran leadership...not Francisco Garcia...) to the team at a cheap price.

    The only Morey pulls it off if he could get Dirk's wife to work for the Rockets. No other chance!

    This will never happen but it would be nice to see the expression on Cuban's face if it did.

    It's not happening guys. This is probably the LEAST likely big FA acquisition scenario we've heard so far. Dirk isn't going anywhere.

    Just make Harden tell him about the type of "D" he gets away with and he'll sign for the vet min!

    I'd make him a 2 year near max offer at Midnight. Will Cuban dare to pay him that?

    Btw, this doesn't sound like laughing. He assumes Cuban will be at his door step at midnight.
