I understand you DelNegro.

It just annoys the heck out of me the tone of this board. It seems like for the last 2 offseasons, everything Cuban does seems to be wrong. But somehow, everything Houston and San Antonio does seems to be good. And the double standard of cuban cost cutting compared to other teams. I mean, besides the Antoine Walker trade, Cuban hasn't done anything bad as far as personnel goes to this organization.
