    I'm trying to find common ground; it's hard to find anything.

    Mark Cuban's hires? no
    Mark Cuban's style? no
    Les Alexander's hires? yes
    Les Alexander's style? yes (well, the Rockets style)

    Which part is Mark Cuban's good part?

    I've never liked the Mavs of Mark Cuban, never wished we had the roster of Mark Cuban, never wished to see Mark Cuban sitting on the sideline in Rockets red. . . . What am I missing here?

    I've already told you, I'd rather have the Spurs owner and their FO. Again, you lack context and make outlandish claims.

    You claimed Les prefers sponsorships over championships.... I guess you've conceded that point since you've moved on since I've givben my rebuttel.

    Well it would seem most CF posters aren't aware of both teams history and the Mavs biggest blunder of breaking up a championship team

    Dude, regardless of how long you've been here.... you deflect and move the goal posts. I've replied to every single point of yours, yet you can't do the same to me. :confused:

    Mark Cuban is highly overrated as an owner. The Mavs wouldn't have won anything without Dirk and he was already on the roster when Cuban bought them. Les has been a very good owner so this whole conversation is pretty stupid IMO.

    All of those links put spending and winning as their main indicator, so of course Cuban looks better since the Mavs have been a better franchise since they drafted Dirk.

    There are no legitimate reasons to put Cuban over Les, they both have their flaws and strengths. Cuban breaking up a championship team to chase FA's with capspace and flexibility is my ultimate knock on him and illustrates how he meddles into things that aren't his expertise.

    Again, and? Doesn't mean you aren't wrong and they aren't wrong.

    Then make that poll dude, make that thread.

    you can't go into McDonalds asking for a Whopper

    This is thread is pretty clear, unless you got some weird reading comprehension, if Cuban was the owner of the Rockets and Les was the owner of the Mavs

    it's easy dude

    Hakeem Olajuwon already took a team to the Finals in 86 under the previous owner, Les bought the Rockets when Hakeem was in his prime.

    There are others on this thread, I appreciate all the attention you give to my posts, but give them some love too

    You also can't go into Clutchfans asking for Mark Cuban. Or you get a 1 star thread. :cool:

    I can't believe any self respecting Rockets fan would want that infant, Mark Cuban, behind the bench whining every game.

    Well when you can't post a 5 star thread, you post 5 one star threads right?

    How would that be any different if one of us owned the team. If you ever read that bbs that is what its about people whining and complaining about the refs, other teams etc.

    I wouldn't expect the owner to act like a crazed fan. The rest of us aren't owners of an NBA franchise. The man runs a business and has to show some professionalism.

    Did Tinman really say this?

    The "superstars" are wishing for Mark Cuban. They like what he has done with the Mavs. They wish that the Rockets had been getting the Mark Cuban treatment for the past fifteen years. Am I getting anything wrong here?

    Just the way Lin revealed a certain type of fan, so Cuban is revealing a certain type of fan: they don't necessarily support the whole Rockets organization.
