"Where it went south was when Rick took over, when the parent took over, or parents took over," Cuban said. I guess Cuban got psyched out the same way the Knicks did when Dallas tricked them into picking Ntilikina over DSJ. Jalen has had nothing but kind words for the Mavs since leaving. Sorry to hear that a year later Cuban's ego won't let him move on. Not sure if Cuban can figure out why the Knicks wouldn't want a sign and trade when they own Dallas's pick. |

It’s well known Dallas had their chances to lock up Brunson many times. Brunson said recently he wanted to stay. Cuban has no one to blame but himself and whomever was advising him.

Cuban having a hard time accepting totally that he screwed up, and when the criticism starts trickling in because of their poor showing, he needs to deflect and point fingers to absolve his negligence. Its funny how he submitted as evidence a message of his conversation with his GM to support his claim. Pathetic!

"And we would've gotten away with it, if it wasn't for that meddling Rick Brunson!"
Give Dallas the 2nd rounder and give Rick a raise! |

You know, I don't mind him commenting now. He kept his mouth quiet when it happened. He let the NBA do their investigation. He watched the NBA dock NY a 2nd rounder. Now there is all this press about how bad at management Dallas is for 'letting Brunson go'. I think its fair to say, 'hey, we didn't let him go, we never had a chance to keep him'. Let the man defend himself and his organization. We still have Brunson. You know I gonna spin wit it

Cuban was also free to offer JB a 30 million per deal via the media the day of the draft when the Knicks cleared salary. Complaining that "we didn't even get a chance to make a counter offer" seems ridiculous. |

Would it be amazing if the Mavericks give us 11 and the difference was that they beat us that game we lost in the last minute. Our worst loss of the season gave us a lottery pick

I guess Cuban’s ego won’t let him see the possibility that Brunson didn’t want to play second fiddle to Doncic anymore. Just look at his growth as a player since he came to the Knicks. He should have been an AS this year and will surely make an all nba team, and, definite in the conversation for MIP as well as leading HIS team to the play offs. Cuban is delusional, Brunson made the right decision for his career.
Say what you want about his dad being an assistant coach but all of our players (Barrett *cough* |

Cuban is going to be even more sad when Luka demands to be reunited with Brunson in NY!

Well, thats entirely reasonable. No reason to do that on a website we don’t use our real names? Lets be real for a moment, could Dallas have cleared cap after knicks bid came in and matched it and given him the extra year? WHile not a basketball issue, its was a mess. Sound familiar? |

In the rumor mill: Pablo Laso could return to the bench next season as the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. The coach from Vitoria has been recommended by Luka Doncic to replace Jason Kidd at the helm of the American franchise after a disappointing second part of the season that could leave them out of the playoffs. Seems flimsy and no source cited. |

Cuban needs to take a page out of Dolans book and leave the wheeling and dealing to the professionals in the front office.
 At least until that first rounder conveys, then he can do whatever he wants.Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Cuban has no one to blame but himself and whomever was advising him. One caveat here and quite frankly I don't understand the facts and nuance of the DFS signing. There was an indication that the Finney-Smith extension messed with the Mavs cap situation that somehow made it a ton more difficult to sign Brunson during the season (if not impossible). I'm not sure of the logistics but that was the implication. Finney-Smith was a really good contract though Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program
