Choosing not to purse a FA because he didn't choose your franchise earlier is stupid. You at least make a pitch to the best possible upgrades. I guarantee you Cuban will at least contact Kevin Durant and say, "Count us in for the max contract bucket". All of your guys will probably get a max contract (Batum maybe not) while Conley is the only one deserving it and I'm betting he stays in Memphis.
IMO Dwight actually fits the best with this team assuming CP and DWill remain. Plus, Wes may benefit from having a solid post up player like he had in Portland with Aldridge. Dirk can become a true stretch four on those post ups. He's almost guaranteed to leave Houston and he did seriously consider us last time.
Until we get our drafting in order which will take a few years, give DH the money and ride the Dirk+DH+CP train. At the end, if they suck then we end up with good picks.
