Future of Dirk Nowitzki and Mavs now that Spurs eliminated them in round 1

Talk about sabotaging your team playing JJ over Roddy

[KnowledgeWithin]

Don't forget the excessive long stretches of play for Dampier over Haywood and Najera being our energy guy over Roddy as well oh yes this is a recipe for winning.

I agree, but too much money. They're still paying damn Avery Johnson 4mil + to call games from the studio. Then add to that of course the 2nd highest payroll in the league with no significant relief coming this offseason. After the 10/11 season, they have some big money coming off would still be over the cap if the want to keep Dirk.

Maybe after next season you let Dirk expire both as a service and thank you to him to allow him to go somewhere else and ring chase, as well as a cost cutting and rebuilding effort.

Cuban is a billionaire, why should he care? The coach blew the series by not playing obviously superior players. Unacceptable..

beaubois 0 minutes in the 4th, i guess he didnt earn the minutes .

I think Dirk is gone...

[Noob Saibot]

at this point, makin a coaching change is useless. The Mavs have had different coaches over the past decade and every year, they fall short of reaching their goal to win an NBA championship. The Mavs need new youngblood like a Beaubois, even if they have to get rid of their franchise player in Dirk.

Carlisle is a friggin' son of a b*tch.

[Ancient Legend]

Yes, you can officially call them chokers now.

Only possibility is an S&T but what team? Because there's no way he passes up a 21.5 million dollar option. He's not old enough yet to be in sacrifice money for a chance to win a ring yet and try to coat tail.

The problem is that they have built their team around a soft 7-foot jumpshooter that plays little D and doesn't run and fill the lanes well/finish at the basket.

Miami.

This does not bode well for Dirk's legacy.

Dirk + Wade + Miami = Big Trouble for the East.
