Yea I think if the Mavs stepped up to the plate and came close to that offer, Nash would still be a Maverick. I give Cuban some credit for not matching that offer. Yea he gave a ton of money to Dampier instead but the logic was correct. Its better to use money to get a good big man instead of a good small man. Unfortunately, Dampier is not a good big man but they took a risk.
I agree. I also think they greatly overpaid for Nash which is what assured that they got him. He won the MVP, I disagree, but thats neither here nor there. knowing what I know now, I still wouldn't pay steve Nash 20 million more than I originally offered, but maybe thats just me. Nash is like 32,33, if Marbury is old at 28, what is Nash? how many years does he have left?
