    The Chairman of Cross-Racial Comparisons just called and wants this stricken....but well done! Going from Microwave to Chapman, back to creamy Bayless and then to Nolan (who counts under the little-known rule that everyone from Duke "plays white" anyway)...spectrum covered!

    I see on realgm there is some vague note about Dirk having a meeting with management. The Mavs went from trying to lure DWill to losing all of their free agents. I wouldn't fault Dirk at all if he sought a trade. He won his ring for Dallas in the 2011 season and now there are VERY few players left from that team. Basically just Dirk, Beaubois, Haywood, and Dominique Jones.

    He'll be cheap off the bench, can create his own shot, and actually tries. That's already an upgrade over Jamal Crawford, who quit on the year in terms of trying to win sometime in late January.

    Ill say it again. With no hibbert, bayless would contend with being our second best player

    Yeah, not a lot of teams scream out to me as being an attractive option, but that's probably what needs to happen for both sides.

    I say Dirk would look pretty good in Golden State.....they have the assets and can provide some for a Dallas rebuild. Orlando for D12 maybe might be good (I think any trade will be a 3 way with Orlando anyway).

    Golden State is terrible, though. Why would Nowitzki want to go there? He's starting the stage of his career where you move to a contender like a Chicago, help them for a few years on a bad contract in exchange for another bad contract (Boozer), and then assess where you're at after the current deal expires after the 2013-14 season.
