Ridiculous.
It was either re-sign the old team or go after Deron a super star. Why shouldn't Cubes try and go after another super star? No proof exists that re-signing 2011 Mav's would've been for the best neither is their proof for how well Dirk/Deron would've done together. What we did know is how over priced the guys from the 2011 would've been for us. You can say "at least lets re-sign Tyson" and that's not fair because while he was an awesome center for us he was not the sole reason we won the championship.
This is Dallas' first FA in the Cuban era and he went big, I have no problem with that. Sure we came up short, but what we did gain was experience for the future in case another situation arrives where we're hunting top FA's and we're able to look back on the past and saw what worked and what didn't in terms of presentation.
If people want to gripe about how we should've resigned Tyson and the 2011 Mav's they should create a separate thread for their bitching and stay out of the threads where those who are looking to the future post.
