Mark Cuban in TM article....Jesus help us. We'll continue to scrap free agents in the offseasons forever.

Cuban has taken the Mavericks into the death spiral of taping together free agents on the downside of their careers, mostly on the cheap, and trying to sell Dirk-tickets with it. He's just milking the final few years of fan goodwill toward Dirk. And people keep buying tickets to see it. Aside from Dirk, this team is damn nigh unwatchable.
The question I have is whether Cuban believes his own bullsh!t or not, whether he actually thinks he's putting together contenders, or whether he knows he's been trotting out inferior product since 2012.
Maybe Cuban will be able to sign Lebron in 2-3 years, get Dwyane out of retirement, pair them with DHo and Carmelo, and SPLASH! ...instant success. Because a real rebuild takes too long. Mark Cuban: The Lovechild of Al Davis and Jerry Jones.
