    You know whats great about this? We hold all the chips. They can only offer the MLE. If Cuban wants him, he has to put together a nice package for us to agree.

    Actually, I just remembered they got Marion. Why the fuck would they want Odom?

    Kidd - Howard - Marion - Odom - Dirk ? WTF?

    I doubt this is legit. But I'd take Jason Terry :]

    Man, I love Jason Terry. I think he would be an awesome fit at PG for us. Dude is straight up scorer, I always remember him killing us every game. Imagine having to deal with Kobe-Pau-Drew-Ron, and JET. Dayum.

    Seems like a classic Cuban move. Loses in the POs and freaks out, is determined to make arbitrary big moves. Offers Gortat a huge contract, loses out on him. Freaks out even more, goes after best FA available despite not having resources to acquire him and already having Marion, Howard, and Dirk as combo type forwards making huge money.

    You guys are right though, you could take advantage of this stupid asshole if he offers up Terry + extras.

    I would cry if we lose Terry. Only 2 people I don't want to see Dallas loose no matter what are Dirk and Terry.

    I saw the interview on NBA TV, it just looked like he meant they reached out and let LO know they were interested in him. Didn't mention a sign and trade directly. But yeah if they get desperate for him, take them to the cleaners. :[

    Why didn't Dallas just Sign & Trade Bass for Gortat?

    I think Dallas should actually go after David Lee.

    You can't S&T two players in one deal (I'm pretty sure). I guess Orlando wanted them both despite their price tags too?

    Wow, how rich is Cuban? Hope he gets stupid and deals for Odom while offering Jet.
