It's not like we're gonna do this every year, this was the first time Cuban tried it in the last 10 years. But you gotta try it, especially when your star player is 34 years old. It's a no brainer, really. Gotta find that next guy, because you won't ever win in this league without him, or maybe once in every 30 years, like the Pistons did, but maybe they are the only team in the history of the NBA who won it without one? They're certainly the only one since the early 80's, so the last 30 years.
The problem was getting cap space by letting the ony player except for dirk who had any value go. It was incredibly stupid.
