    Jordan was the same.

    He has the talent to help this team challenge. Hopefully he will "buy in" with good mentors in Olajuwon and McHale.

    Sounds like Dwight has his fair share of Haters, may take some of the load off Lin.

    I hope he comes and honors Hakeem's legacy. Winning a title for his mentor would be a hell of a story.

    ONLY after next season. So would be silly for Dwight and CP3 to take a bullet for one year just for this

    If either or both wanna go to Dallas, Cuban will figure out a way to make it happen.

    Doubt it. Harden is a more attractive prospect than Dirk right now anyway.

    Ha, someone shared with {Rudolph} the rumor of Dwight having lunch/dinner with Harden.

    Nobody will sign with Dallas because Cuban will be to busy with Shark Tank.

    Has there been a major free agent who was iffy on coming back and then ultimately did come back? I can't think of one. I think when someone "needs time to reflect", they don't come back.

    Usually if a guy plans on returning, he says so, ala Iggy to Denver.

    Thanks for the scoop, though Harden tweeted he was in LA (his hometown) a couple days ago.

    He deleted his post where he said he thinks he knows where Dwight will go and instead has he'll make his decision when he's ready. I smell Dwight's team involvement, lol

    They can't outright sign both and they have most of their players coming off the books next year. So besides picks, they don't have a ton of offers in SnTs. Also, I'm not sure what the conditions of trading their picks are under right now. They owe a top 20 protected pick to the Thunder (through Lakers, through us) and the protection on that expires in 2017.

    So realistically, the Mavericks are going to be keeping that pick until 2017.

    small-time RealGM reporter based in Orlando who seemingly became Dwight's go-to guy when he wanted to share things with the media (first to know He was opting in with Magic, first to get the scoop on Dwight's meeting with Hennigan last year, first to report that Dwight agreed to go to the Lakers).

    He may not be 'in Dwight's circle' as far as in his head at all times, but he definitely has a relationship with him and take Dwight's side on all things. He was pounding the Brooklyn drum until the Laker trade finally went down.

    I like Cuban, but his decisions the last couple years have been nothing short of terrible.

    The way he's wasted the last good years of Dirk's career.
