NBA Free Agency 2013

Reports are the mavs are pursuing bynum. Not sure how I feel about this one. I don't think it will be bad if they put the part about his knees in the contract, where he eats it if he gets injured.

Bynum is even worse than Howard. With Howard you get the drama, with Bynum you get the immaturity and laziness. Have fun with that.

hes got injury problems too

[STROKD]

Maybe he doesnt realize there is a salary cap and no mattwr how much cuban is worth, he can only spend so much.

I realize plenty. I also realize we don't have any fucken players, so wharz the money going? How come Miami and LA can afford 3 large contracts (at least) and we can't afford 2? Also, college ball had a lot of scandolous shit going on for decades, MC needs to do something. Worst case he needs some new talent scouts. Lol

It's all Cubans design. He thinks all of these teams are going to be screwed soon. The heat are already trying to unload bosh. The super teams were built with the last cba. Teams won't be able to afford it anymore.

Mavs reached agreement with Devin Harris.
Sources say they are also pursuing Jermaine O Neal. This has to be some kind of a bad dream.

Someone tell Cuban its not 2005 anymore.

I hate free agency and the Mavs for those 2 things don't go together very well.

Like many already stated the money isn't everything for some players, they want to see a team with some upside. Dallas doesn't really have much to offer. Even though the Mavs are supposed to be one of the top teams this off season as far as cap space goes, but over the years they've done nothing to really build this team. They seem to always let go of good players at the wrong times IMO.

Bynum is a bad decision, he's going to be the next Greg Oden with these injuries. Plus, I believe he wants a max contract, yea fuck that!

Why, just why??...Devin Harris and Jermaine "always injured" O'Neal. What's next, Jet..JHo, and Caron Butler as well?

I swear Cuban just doesn't care anymore since he got his Finals Trophy. We should've kept Mayo, and actually I still wish they wouldn't have dismantled the team like they did right after their championship.

I was okay with not bringing back Chandler cause he kinda had a one year wonder with the Mavs and I thought it could've been another Dampier situation.

Sweet Mark Cuban is the new Jerry Jones.

Which is why he should stop talking...

Miami signed those pussies before the new CBA. I can't speak for LA. I would think most of those contracts were prior to the new CBA. Perhaps Jeannie Buss doesn't mind playing the luxury tax, I don't know.

This. Cuban gambled. It hasn't paid off yet, and it may never pay off. Several teams *should* be looking to unload big contracts. This is what he's waiting for. That's why he signed everyone to 1 & 2 year deals. So he can dump them at any time, and the cost to the team will be minimal. Cuban isn't "stupid", and he doesn't need new talent scouts. He has explained his thought process on this many times. I didn't agree with dismantling the team the way he did. In fact, I was pissed. But I can see why he is doing what he has done.

Too many fans forget that this isn't NBA2K13. It is still a business, it still has to make a profit to survive.

So having a non playoff team will make him profits? I get what you're saying and his so called plan but this could ruin him cause as of now all I see for the future of the mavs are the mavs of the 90's.

You don't have to be a playoff team to fill seats. Sure, that is the goal. But it doesn't happen every year.


I know this may come as a shock to you, but I'm sure Cuban knows a couple things about running an NBA franchise, that you don't. I read somewhere that he has been operating in the red since he bought the team. I'll dig around and see what I can find out.

Yea I guess thats the truth, look at the cowboys. But the mavs aren't as popular as the cowboys. And I'm not saying I know how to run a team but usually the teams with the most success are worth more and a big fan base.
