I hope so. But I'm not entirely sold yet. "Options" or "flexibility" means nothing, until it is ultimately cashed in. As I said, we'll wait and see.

The last 2 chips of flexibility we had were:
the Stack Chip, turned into Marion
the DUST Chip, turned into Chandler
Not sexy names, but starters on a championship team. Agree, it's a wait and see. Both were almost instant winners when we traded the chips in. Cuban isn't about Dirk any more,(it's the same with the Spurs and Duncan) he's looking at 5-8 years down the line, he wants to continue the winning and playoff runs, but he won't mortgage the future to do it. Spurs are in a situation with Duncan, who's a free agent, do they give him 20 million for 2 - 3 seasons, or do they claim the cap space and go for a Howard, or Bynum in 2013?
