Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Parsons "learning" the GM game. Don't sell the bear skin before you've kill it. Can't believe Cuban got played though.

To be honest, if DJ left the Clippers that would be two less teams to deal with in the playoffs. Clippers with a hole in the middle and Dallas with DJ in the middle and little else.

Now Clips are back in the fold and Blake is getting better every year. We beat them by playing consistent all year and getting home court advantage but don't forget the luck involved there. SA losing to NOP was huge because if we didn't have HCA we would've lost that series despite the Game 6 heroics. Which is unlikely to happen again given SA/MEM/NOP are in our division. NOP is going to go on a tear next year.

Of course the argument on this forum is that Game 6 won't have to happen again if DMo and Beverley are playing but thats a questionmark in itself. Without Terry, you lose his three point shooting ability and veteran leadership. I remember folks on this forum cursing Bev and calling him a scrub last year repeatedly for taking 3s and missing them. I don't need to say much about Josh Smith who can make or break a game.

Clips are an excellent team who have had strokes of bad luck. We probably might have lost to the Spurs had we played them in the first round.

Now if Harden REALLY improves his defense this offseason, then we might have a different story next year.

I can see Cuban going nuclear and trading his veterans on the cheap to clip rivals just to spurn them back. I know Morey is definitely opportunistic.

Dallas is a lottery team right now. Toss in Portland and we’re guaranteed two new entrants into the Western Conference postseason bloodbath. Barring another injury disaster, Oklahoma City will reclaim its rightful spot. But Utah and Phoenix are happy right now, and if the win-at-all-costs Kings can get off to another hot start, they might have a fighting chance.

Rick Carlisle does not want to tank. Will he see this through? Dirk Nowitzki does not want to tank, and can’t afford to waste one of his last remaining years on a bad team. He doesn’t want to leave Dallas, either. Can we just put him in a cryogenic chamber and wake him up next July, when the Mavs could try (again) to lure two impact free agents?

Parsons can opt out after this season, and if the Mavs really want to tank, they should think about dealing him for a first-round pick.

• If you want more drama, you should root for Dallas to hit Enes Kanter with a max offer sheet. The Thunder are only $2 million below the tax, so matching a max contract would cost them the equivalent of almost $40 million. Only three teams have the room to offer Kanter north of $15 million: Philly, Portland, and Dallas. The first two don’t seem interested — both have a ton of bigs already — and Dallas couldn’t survive defensively playing Kanter and Nowitzki together.

The Thunder may be ready to dig in with Kanter, as the Suns did with Eric Bledsoe’s restricted free agency a year ago. Every bit of savings matters. The Thunder could lighten the load by dealing all of D.J. Augustin, Steve Novak, and Perry Jones III, and you can bet the remaining teams with some cap room are watching.

• Speaking of drama: How great is the first Clips-Mavs game in Dallas going to be? Who will draw the job of hitting Jordan with a flagrant foul? Do not count out J.J. Barea.

• This is not a good day for Dan Fegan, Jordan’s agent. On draft night, the Mavericks selected Satnam Singh with the 52nd pick — a massive guy who no one thinks can play in the NBA. Fegan’s agency represents Singh. The league rolled its eyes — another Cuban-Fegan job. The two men are tight, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Cuban has signed a pile of Fegan clients, and he made a run at another one, Dwight Howard, two summers ago.

He didn’t get Howard, but a year later, Cuban wooed another Fegan client: Chandler Parsons. The Rockets let Parsons out of his contract a year early, and it’s widely known around the league — and yet never said on the record — that Houston did so as a repayment for Howard signing there.

I don’t know exactly how Fegan handled Jordan’s free agency. Only a few people do. People with the Clippers whined that Fegan had cost Jordan money by steering him away from his incumbent team — the team that can always offer the most. But the cap jumps coming in 2017 and 2018 had warped those traditional incentives. Jordan could have signed with Dallas, opted out after three seasons, signed a new max-level deal, and made more than he could have on the five-year max signed with the Clippers today. He could make the most going that same route with the Clippers,2 which is why he signed a four-year max deal with a player option in the final season, per Ken Berger of CBS Sports.

I dislike Cuban plenty, but yeah, Broussard is a joke. Why would he be driving through downtown Houston (texting) when DeAndre lives in freaking Pearland? Obviously Cuban would know that.
