JJ Barea going to the heat, 5th mavs player lost for nothing

I don't know if you're being sarcastic but if you think the dudes on the Mav's board didn't delight in throwing dirt on our grave when they took Parsons and Bosh rebuffed us you're crazy.

The Mavs lose out on Jordan so they redistribute his money to other scrubs? That makes a lot of sense for a rebuilding team.

 

They're going after Javale McGee now.

 

Are you familiar with "rivalry"? Particularly the type of rivalry called "in-state rivalry"?

 

Good for Dallas

 

The McGee signing would be interesting. Decent stating 5 and def a good recover with McGee and Williams

 

I hope Dallas doesn't tank and shoot for the lottery. This will make them the whipping boy in the West for a long, long time. No way Dallas call pull off what Morey did in terms of reshaping a roster into a WCF team without tanking.

And for all you Morey haters, have y'all stopped to think about how remarkable his feat has been? Seriously, I would give him my kidney to keep him here.

 

Lose:
- Rondo
- Ellis
- Aminu
- Stoudemire
- Chandler
--- Wright (Rondo Trade)
--- Nelson (Rondo Trade)
--- Crowder (Rondo Trade)
--- 2016 1st Rd. Pick (Rondo Trade)
--- 2016 2nd Rd. Pick (Rondo Trade)

Add/Retain
+ D.Williams
+ Matthews
+ Barea
+ Jefferson

 

The Mavs have never been particularly good when it comes to GMing. They have a history of overvaluing nearly washed-up veterans.

 

Cuban is stubborn. He's never had to go through a rebuild before. He's a lot like Les in that respect. Both owners bought their clubs as they were on the rise. After Dream's career wound down and eventually ended, Les managed to keep the Rockets around .500 for a long time, but it took them forever to finally rebuild. I have a feeling the same thing will happen with the Mavs. They'll be mired in mediocrity for years.

 

That's fine but there was nothing that said he was signing with the Heat. Everyone just assumed it was true and started doing the stroke.
