Indeed, Dallas is rebuilding and improving on the fly. I see they have already signed rookie PG Rodrigue Beaubois whom I liked. Cuban will not let the Mavs go down.
At this point everyone is bitching just to bitch.
News Flash: DALLAS IS GOING TO BE A MEDIOCRE 5 - 8 SEED AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
Cubes doing "not letting the Mavs go down" leads to him signing Josh Howard and Dampier to ridiculous franchise altering contracts and trading Devin Harris for Jason Kidd because you think you are closer then you are.
They are no closer to getting a championship then they were last year when they weren't even one of the 8 best teams in the league. Cuban is just another version of Sarver. Continually throwing money in the wrong direction just to do so and not having any plan. What are a 35 year old Kidd and Marion going to do for them? Not really all that much except take up cap space on a team that won't be competing for the title as presently constituted.
Basically they were the Suns last year with better health. Nothing more nothing less. Like Ouchie said in his excellent post in another thread its the absence of commiting one way or the other that dooms you to being irrelevent.
Can't we just wait until the end of the offseason before you decide to rant about the direction they are going? At this point they are still figuring what they are going to do and how they want to go about doing it.
I am not saying they are doing everything right. Quite the contrary. But unlike many of you I don't want us to just start throwing around multi year contracts just to show that the are being "active". In other words err on the side of caution. They are ham strung until they decide if they can get the right deal for Nash and Amare. Letting Shawn Marion sign else where isn't going to make or break the season.
The woe is us crap from many of the fans on this board is tired. Just relax and let it play out. And Dallas isn't who we should be trying to emulate.
