    True, in reality the difference is really only 39 games. Because if he was a maverick, he still would likely playing 2 games here.

    But yeah. Id say we are set up for longevity to win more than dallas is.

    Cant blame him though. Cuban would be a fantastic owner to play for.

    slightly OT from your conversation, but...
    I think they push Stotts ability to develop players.
    Lillard's unselfishness.
    youngest team in playoffs, and still made it to 2nd round.
    Players his age, not old men (like in Dallas and Miami)

    Why don't we take McBob and Wade off their hands so they can sign Whiteside? That'd shore up our bench. :ghoti:

    So let's say we land Whiteside.

    What else do we do? We'd have like 2 mil of space left.

    Still feel like we'll need a good perimeter defender or 3 and D dudes if we can find someone for cheap (not for 2 mil obviously). Perhaps turn Noah and Plums into something useful?

    Omri Casspi is a guy I've been looking at for a while now if Sac wants to let him go. Terrific leader, great 3pt shooter, decent defender who can play both the 3 and 4.

    If we sign Whiteside, and assuming that Horford leaves Atlanta, I'm VERY curious what the Hawks would want for Millsap.

    Yeah trade plums for a future 1st, or trade plums for a wing that makes a little more than him to a team looking to shave off a couple million and a 2nd rounder for our troubles.

    We will trade Plumlee for a SF/PF I imagine. Would Charlotte consider letting MKG leave? He's injured anyway and he's on $13M a year which is doable if we don't resign Meyers.

    Yeah we can give him just as much as Dallas can plus a better chance to win. Plus would he rather play with Mike conely, an aging Nowitzi, and a downhill maverick team or Lillard and the up and coming blazers

    Or maybe we're just being played so he can get a max deal with Miami.

    If you're Cuban.... what the fuck are you selling?

    Dirk just turned 38.

    Parsons is on the way out.

    Wes was a bust.

    The rest of the team that's actually under contract is horrible. So what is the selling point? We might get Conley?

    Cuban is offering a guest host spot on one episode of Shark Tank.

    Same thing they almost got DeAndre with...the promise of being a focal point on the offensive end. HW wants to get paid and he wants to have a bigger/better role. MIA has the location, DAL has the need, POR has the best mix of a chance to contend and be a more important part of the team. I like our chances when you look at the overall offering and the fact both Neil and Dame will be in that room

    I don't think Dame is gonna be in the room. The final day of his summer camp is tomorrow.
