NBA Talk is reporting that Cuban is working on a mega-deal that would bring SAR to Dallas. The article also mentions Gary Payton, Glen Rice, and Washington's #1 pick being part of the 5 team trade. Isn't looking good for our hopes of landing SAR, not like we had alot to offer in the first place. ------------------
A deal that large will collapse under its own weight. Its almost impossible to put together a three or four team trade, much less a five teamer involving that many marquee players and picks. ------------------ The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.
Who does Dallas give up? Does Cuban send some DVD players to Vancouver for SAR? ------------------ Check out my homepage! Loads of sports pics! http://www.public.asu.edu/~sykim/
unlikely to happen, but geez it would be fun to see a 5 team trade with major players happen. ------------------ CUT Tino These Heaves are just getting Ridiculous!
Part of that trade would involve trading Gary Payton to wherever, so don't take it too seriously. ------------------
They didn't explain too much, but let's try to guess who would go where: 1) Vancouver 2) Dallas 3) Seattle 4) Washington 5) New York. *Washington sends Strickland to New York, their first to Seattle. *New York sends Glen Rice to Seattle. *Seattle sends Gary Payton to Washington. *Vancouver sends SAR to Dallas *Dallas sends expiring contracts to Vancouver. This is where it breaks down... why aren't these periphery teams doing their own thing? Who's the biggest contract that's expiring? Strickland has a team opt. Should he go to Van? Aghghghghg... this trade isn't going to happen. Why would any of these other teams acquire Glen Rice? Why would Seattle give away Payton? For Washington's first (currently #2)? Yeah right. For Bibby and Washington's first? Still bs. This trade isn't going to happen. ------------------
never underestimate Mark Cuban... ------------------ the more I know, the more I know I don't know...
seattle doesn't need glen rice with Rashard Lewis there, period...bogus trade senerio, sorry. ------------------ cynthia don't go!!! i miss you already
Rice is a 2 guard Lewis a SF, don't see why they can't coexist on the Sonics. DaDakota ------------------ If Mankind evolved from monkeys and apes, then why are there still monkeys and apes?
Cuban wants everyone...who really cares anymore. Personally, I used to like Cubans enthusiasm for the game. But now, I think he is already starting to wear on me as well as many others. SAR stands for Shareef Abdul-Rahim of the Vancouver Grizzlies for the poster who wanted to know what SAR meant. ------------------
The Mavs have a lot of talent, and could put together a nice package without disrupting their core (Finley, Dirk, Nash), and with 3 20-point scorers the Mavs would certainly be potent. But who plays defense on that team, excluding Finley, if they pull in SAR? They should probably concentrate on getting a rebounder/defender/interior player like Antonio Davis, Dale Davis, or PJ Brown. ------------------ Who's better: Kelvin Cato or Joe Barry Caroll? Take your time!
Wow, it took until the 13th response for people to realize that this has nothing to do with the Rockets. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Rockets haven't even been mentioned in this thread.

I hate to even suggest this, but (GULP) Sean Bradley is 2nd in the league in blocks per game, at 3.12 per contest. So they do have a presence inside, albeit a gangly one. Nash is a very good defender as wee, Finley is a good defender, as well as Laettner and Buckner. Defense is not a problem for the Mavericks this year. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're okay. SAR = Shareef Abdur-Raheem And welcome, by the way... ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
No way does Cuban land SAR. He has no superstar to deal, no cap room to give, and not enough picks to trade in return. ------------------
That wouldn't make much sense for Cuban to do that because the team has a lot of potential as it is. Why would he risk ruining things by parting with an important player or destroying chemistry? ------------------ The whole world we travel with our thoughts, Finding nowhere anyone as precious as one's own self. Since each and every person is so precious to themselves Let the self-respecting harm no other being. -from the Samyutta Nikaya
Cuban is a legend in his own mind... He's starting to come off like Paul Allen and his quest to buy a championship....or in the case of Dallas..buy a spot in playoffs. ------------------
