Mark Cuban: Glad we didn't get DWill; mad at Kidd

is this REALLY the state of the NBA right now? it sure feels like it's the mantra of teams that can't seem to close on the most talented players.

 

In other words Cubans plan failed, Dwight went to la and is mostly gonna sign there, deron stayed in new jersey, terry bolted to the Celtics and Kidd signed with the Knicks. Now Cuban is left with oj mayo and the corpses of Elton brand and Chris Kaman. That's at best a 6th seed in the west....at best.

 

Let Chandler, Barea, Butler, Haywood, Kidd, Mahinmi, Stevenson, Terry go...






...We're happy we didn't end up with Williams or Howard.

 

I call it the WBA strategy of hoping to overpay a star player in Free Agency.

 

This is like saying that I'm glad I didn't win the lottery so I won't eventually go broke and become an alcoholic slash drug addict.

 

I think our water comes from up north. Just sayin

 

and what did that get him in return? oh an acknowledgement of it being a legitimate gripe by some dude whose profile name is "carl herrera" and a pg who treated it like a business (despite the perceived treatment he got)

quick the league should all change their philosophies, they will still lost the player but carl herrera on clutch fans will allow you to be mad about it

 

The face that he won't put Kidd's jersey in the rafter, sounds so female genitalia.

 

How does loyalty enter the equation when talking about Chandler? The guy played 1 year with the Mavs as basically a mercenary. On the other hand, when Cuban decided to reacquire Kidd for Devin Harris, it was hard to see the logic in that move. You could easily argue that it made the Mavs worse. In fact I don't see how the Mavs fail to still win the title w/o Kidd.

 

Cuban is absolutely right here. Paying the max for a point guard is an easy way to eliminate yourself from title contention. I don't know why owners/GMs think they have to do it just because everyone else does.

 

read between the lines..

 

Watch that big little kid Cuban calms down years from now will be smooching Kidd. Not because bridge under water, but because Kidd will be elgible for HOF and Cuban will seek him out for exposure.

 

Huh, imagine that! So its not just the ROX who end up getting buttraped by the big markets. So I guess all those posters who keep claiming that players don't want to come to Houston because Morey treats everyone like an asset don't know what they're talking about
