    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Why would Cuban care? His team is not a title contender right now. Getting a decent center for "free" (I can't imagine the Warriors want anything for Bogut except salary relief) is a move that a lot of teams who want to put competitive teams on the floor next year will find attractive.

    Also Barnes has now become an unrestricted FA -- Pull Turner Offer and go after Barnes -- i am not a fan of Barnes but do it to screw with the Mavs or at least put feelers out to Barnes camp and see if he would be interested.

    You ARE the biggest loser.


    Well, until next year, when you dump OKC and make their fans the biggest losers.

    But then no free agent would want to come here if we did something like that!

    I can't deny that it adds a little bit that the Thunder, specifically, got screwed. I still dislike that they're the stolen Sonics.

    It's amazing because I used to like the Warriors... they were my second favorite team about ten years ago.

    Now I can't stand them.

    Barnes is a lock for Dallas.

    I am guessing Cuban knew.... he has probably been talking to GSW all along.

    Fuck you Cuban.

    I enjoyed watching them when they had Run TMC. Hardaway was one of my favorites back in the day!

    Interesting fact: now when you google the phrase "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" you just get a picture of Kevin Durant.

    Fuck me...living in the Bay Area is going to be unbearable for the next couple of years.

    My 9 yr old son just woke up and when I broke the news to him, he just threw his arms down and, with a look of utter disgust, could only muster the words: "really?" Then he walked out of the room.

    The poor kid is CA born and raised; a part of me wishes I could've/would've convinced him to be a GSW fan so that he wouldn't have to endure the torture us Blazer fans do year after year . . .

    Only solace we can take from this is that nothing is guaranteed and they still have to play the games before collecting those rings. I mean, shit, Roy, LMA, and Oden looked on paper like they were going to net us a bunch of titles and we all know how that turned out. Not (openly) rooting for injuries but that shit happens to the best of 'em.
