dfwabel Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Under Mark Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks were in the NBA Playoffs for 10+ consecutive seasons, went to two NBA Finals, and won one Championship. In doing so, he spent the second most in the Luxury Tax only to get the likes of Erick Dampier via free agency, and not concentrating on the draft yet to trade like for Devin Harris. http://www.shamsports.com/2012/07/without-looking-guess-which-seven-teams.html?m=1After winning and realizing the new CBA and financial limits of the new CBA, his plan is serious failing. While the 2012-13foul team had ball handling issues, signing Jose Calderon, Devin Harris returning, and Wayne Ellington helps at guard with Larkin waiting until Rick Carlisle is willing to play young players, but Cuban has seriously missed out on every major target in the new free agency (Howard and Derron Williams, a local kid).Even with one year left, he may have to trade Dirk.

It's such a bloody carnage in Lakerland, and now, Clipper forces are advancing past seas with their U-CP3 submarines, and past mud-trenches with their BG-32 machine guns, all led by General Glen Rivers.

ESTONES6 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Andruw Bynum to sign with the Cavs. 2 Years, $24 million, second year is a team option for $12 million. Only $6 million guaranteed in first year.

bigbean24 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I just thought of this now. Aren't the Brooklyn Nets pretty much owned by the Russian mafia? Except for that whole "we Brooklyn, we black and white, Illuminati blah blah blah Jay Z".

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Pretty happy with the Pistons picking up Josh Smith and bringing back Chauncey to mentor the young guards. I think our front court will be fairly terrorizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyk33 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Metta World Peace signs with the Knicks.http://www.usatoday....knicks/2518835/Hopefully he can inject some toughness into Bargs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 World Peace seems like a good pick-up for the Knicks. He's a decent defender who can also shoot. He's also late in his career, wants to be in New York, and the craziness is mostly behind him.I don't think he gets the Knicks to the third round of the playoffs, much less the Finals, but he helps keep New York competitive, and perhaps more importantly, entertaining.It's too bad that New York has become a place where once-great players sign when the better parts of their careers are over. It feels like New York should matter in professional basketball, and it only kind of does, only inasmuch as people want the Knicks to be good. But it's also been 40 years since their last title. They're almost the Maple Leafs of the NBA, but they don't even have as much early glory as the Toronto team. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Tuesday is the deadline for salary cap amnesty. Miami used it on Mike Miller and Toronto used it on Linas Kleiza.The following teams still have their amnesty provision going into the next off season:ATL; BOS; CHI; DET; MEM; MIL; NOP*; OKC; SAC; SAS; UTH*- New Orleans does not have a player on their roster eligible for the amnesty provision.

The Six Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I had a dream that the season started and that Doc Rivers was playing for the Clippers. But he was also the coach, so he was wearing his suit instead of a uniform. He dunked off a lob pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Third consecutive off-season in which Mark Cuban says, the Mavericks are "better off".2011: Let Chandler, Butler, and Barea leave because of the new luxury tax penalties. LOST TO OKC IN ROUND 12012: Missed out on Derron Williams because he was filming Shark Tank and could not go in person. Paul and Howard did not exercise free agent rights. Let Jason Terry go and sign (or trade) for Mayo, Brand, Kaman, and Collison on one year contracts to have "a better cap" situation. MISSED PLAYOFFS2013: Have cap space and do not get a major free agent but bring back Devin Harris, sign Ellington and Calderone and bring in former Bucks in Ellis and Dalembert*.*-Dalembert is about to earn $100 million in his NBA career just for being tall. Then again, Cuban gave Evan Eschmeyera 6 year/$20M deal and Shawn Bradley even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, since Teague just got a new deal? Horford has one of the best contracts in the NBA, so it won't be used.

dfwabel Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I'm shocked OKC did not use it on PerkinsThere was no reason to. As Buddy Guy would say, (It's) "Cheaper To Keep Her": Perkins deal has two years left: $9M for 2013-14 and $9M for 2014-15 with the team receiving no cap relief, nor tax savings if Perkins is given amnesty.By not giving into Harden's max contract demand and trading him to HOU, OKC got under the luxury tax level for the 2012-13 season, and OKC was also saved money for 2013-14 by not having an Ibaka contract PLUS a Harden deal start this season, which would have taken team salary close to $80M, where the cap is going to be lose to $73M.

Lights Out Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 WTF is Dumars doing.... besides still living off 2004, of course. Josh Smith and Jennings are a massive waste of money, and Chauncey still thinks he's a starter so there's going to be problems convincing him to come off the bench for Jennings (unless he plays at the 2 again). Drummond/Monroe/Knight was a promising young core and Dumars just ruined that this summer. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
