If he slips to the 10 spot we are gonna pick him upHow far is Shabazz going to slip?
How many lotto picks in the 2014 draft will be from Kentucky? 5?
I see no similarities there at all.julius randle is gonna be so ******g good manremind me of a young KG![]()

I cannot see any scenario where that happens... I don't think Cuban is in the business of locking up money on spare parts just to be a fringe playoff team...I personally think they settle if they don't hit this year. Something like Brandon Jennings and Josh Smith, unfortunately.

He refused to do it with Tyson or JET immediately after we won a damn title... Why would he do it now...?
He still doesn't get credit for it...I don't agree. I mean, many of those Dirk teams on paper were just 6-8 seeds-- including the team that won!
Dirk just carried them over the edge. They wayy overachieved that year. Tyson Chandler was a castoff. Cuban paid for fringe playoff teams, he just happened to get lucky.
Edit: it's always been my opinion that Dirk never got enough credit for carrying teams that were just as starless as LeBron's better teams in Cleveland.
Meh. His second best player for most of his career has been Jason Terry, who is a streak shooter and often disappeared in playoff games. Josh Howard? Ugh, that guy sucked. They lost in the first round from '06-'10. I don't think that management ever really put elite talent on that team after the finals loss. Maybe they weren't a fringe playoff team, but they were definitely fringe contenders. I don't think they were legitimate when they lost to New Orleans, etc.He still doesn't get credit for it...
But the Mavs weren't a fringe playoff team most of the last decade. They were a legitimate playoff team and most years at least had a decent shot of being a title contender... Maybe never the front runner, but always in contention... It wasn't often that they were in the playoffs and just happy to be there. Last year, yeah.. But they were legitimate title contenders most of the way through Dirk's prime. Because of Dirk, yeah, but the surrounding talent was enough to give them a shot.
That's what you're paying for if you go the route of Jennings and JSmith with declining Dirk... Barely in the playoffs with no chance of contention.

Why not? He has range, can bring up the ball if he has to, tenacity, hunger, explosiveness in the paint. Dude just gives it his all every second of the game.
KG comparison for Randle?
Chris Webber is more spot on.
Larkin can start from day 1 wherever he goes.
I also think the big reason for that is because they never had the flexibility to make a huge splash in Dirk's prime.. It wasn't for lack of effort. They tried to get Shaq. Tried to get KG.Meh.

That Mavs finals run is my favorite NBA moment in the last decade![]()
. But it was a damn miracle. There's no way Cuban looked at that roster at the start of the season and said "Chandler, this guy who just got cut by OKC. Old-*** Jason Kidd and Sean Marion. Brendan Haywood- We're definitely going all the way."
Honestly if i can compare Larkin to anyone it would be Norris Cole he can be quick enough to penetrate at times and play solid D
But if your looking at him to run and initiate your offense you will regret it
