@slakker: I am just wondering what would be your reaction if the Dallas won the title?

if cuban did not constantly complain during the finals, wa ta kabalo, basig champion ang dallas ron. and then di ko mu-comment kay champion man sila. pero diri sa real world, napildi man sila...

Im also wondering if Cuban never went to Dave Lettermen Show to comment on "old Pat Riley stuff" but things happen already...
anyway miami had done celebrating so we will move forward for the next activity ..which is draft and free agency...

what's done is done so lets live with it..

I suspect that Cuban will parlay one of its key players (Howard??, Daniels??)Â* in order to get another high pick . Years ago.. he gave up Jamison for Stackhouse and Harris...
Im even thinking of them giving up Damp to get Big Ben in a sign and trade...this will strengthen them up but the Free throw average as a team might suffer...

I created a new post for the drafting...

buhi pa diay ni, I dont think cuban is the reason for the downfall of the mavs, one thing pud dili siya basketball player, but its the players who turn down the mavs, they have a great coach, its just a matter of execution, nowitzki, howard, very inconsistent sa finals knowing nga si jason terry ra gyud ang solid og performance, even devin harris is missing sa finals.

blaming Mark Cuban for the Mavs loss in the finals is just petty.. that argument won't stand on it's own.

[slakker]

i'm not blaming cuban, my opinion is his constant whining contributed to dallas' team psyche wherein they thought that the referees were against them. thus they lost focus and they did not play their game. you can't blame a single person for what happened...

oh well ... you win some...you lose some...

Go MAVS!

Mark Cuban is a resemblance of power... but he's a double-edged sword. Whenever he gets up and whatever he does when the game is on, the chain reaction follows.

Terry thrilled about returning to Mavs
By DWAIN PRICE
STAR-TELEGRAM STAFF WRITER

DALLAS - True to his word, Jason Terry will return to play for the Mavericks.

Terry and the Mavs agreed on a six-year contract early Saturday morning that's worth approximately $50 million.

"Everybody knows that at the end of the day our goal is to win a championship, and we came close last year," Terry said. "And I truly believe in my future we're going to win one and bring it home to Dallas."

The chances of that happening are better now that the Mavs have an agreement in place with Terry.

"We are very excited that Jason is committed to bringing a championship to Dallas," Mavs owner Mark Cuban said. "Jet is a key to this team. He is one of the most clutch players in the league."
