What makes you think FInley wouldn't do that for the Mavs?

Probably the fact that he never did it for the Mavs.

And as fans, we shouldn't place any value on what a player's done for us in the past, but on what he can do in the here and now.

No one is saying they are not thankful for what Finley had done for this franchise in the past, rather, there comes a point when you suck up your pride and do what's best for the team. Finley could not do that and was not living up to his contract.

They were extremely upset with the Rose/Mohammad trade, despite the fact that it brought them a young, 7ft center who was desperately needed in exchange for an overpaid, undersized, and aging PF that was not.

Surely you haven't forgotten the fact that Rose was the designated "garbage man" for the San Antonio Spurs for over four seasons and through two NBA championships ('99 and '03). Any time fans see a piece of a team that won the championship/s for their city leave then a part of them is inclined to feel upset.

And as to the argument about Webber and Christie; the fans in Sac town are simply trying to hold on to the past when they were actually a pretty good team. Can you blame them for wanting that type of environment back?
