Dirk took less money to bring in Parsons and Rondo

[QUOTE=tpols]Cubans pride is too much.. unfortunately the mavs are like a toy to him.. and his power hungry Ness bit him in the ass.[/QUOTE]

Yea...if you really go through his moves with the team and Nellie Jr.'s moves from 04 to present it's pretty awful...same with draft picks.

Like...the only great signing was Tyson in 11 and they readily admit that they didn't even want him and just got lucky because it's all we really could do.

I love Cuban for at least trying to win, but he and Nellie Jr. have put out a lot of shit over the years from players to coaches...especially considering the stability an all time franchise guy like Dirk provided pretty much from the jump.

mavs need calderon or jameer back

We'd have 0 chance to win the title though.

These moves weren't about just getting better it was about putting a team out there that if it played well...had legit chances to win the title.

Not win regular season games or 1 round.

Our biggest weakness was/is containing the ball for our guards. Giving us Jameer/Calderon would only make that problem worse.

Would our offense be much better? Absolutely, but no way in hell a team starting Nelson or Calderon in the West is winning the title.

This has been title or bust for years and it will continue to be that until Dirk is gone.

Just the way it is.

So while the Rondo trade didn't work, it's not like sitting still would have made sense. And the trade won't hurt us next year at all.

The real killer was the Parsons signing.

how about that post defense?

[QUOTE=DirkNowitzki41]How did Dirk take less money to bring in Rondo when Dirk signed his contract in July and Rondo never became a Mav till late december?[/QUOTE]


[I]On how much Dirk taking a less expensive contract made the Rondo trade possible:

Cuban:

Dirk tried to be honourable but got his head sliced in the end :( If you're gonna play the game of rings, you win or you die.
