I know first hand how it feels to be Shawn Bradley. He was born taller than most and knows how to play basketball
I was born more handsome than most and have my opinions I just cant get anyone to pay me what i am worth |

Kid- first off you are completely wrong about Dirk. We can sign him to the Max too, even if we are over the cap. Its called the Larry Bird rule. Second, Mark Cuban has stated several times that he doesn't give a damn about the luxury tax. That's why he is the NBA's best owner and a big reason why there will be a dynasty in Dallas soon.
Next year, we will sign Trent to a multi-year deal, freeing up use for both our mid-level and million dollar extensions. If we max out Bradley, that makes these exceptions much more valuble to a free agent. Take for instance someone like Antonio Davis, who is not a Max caliber player. He can sign the mid-level exception knowing that in a couple of years he will get maxed out by Cuban. We can use our million dollar exception in the same way on a player like Erik Strickland. |

LAM, how does the Juwon trade convince free-agents that Cuban pays his players? He didn't offer Howard the deal, just took on the burden. Juwon would have received his money if Cuban made the trade or not. With Bradley, people will see that Cuban will pay his players the big bucks even when he doesn't have to. I think thats got to be attractive to any free agent players.

I just think Cuban was being nice or caught in the moment when he said he wanted Strickland back.
I bet he would take back what he said earlier this year when he said Eisley was untradeable, I watched Strickland back in the sorry days of Mavericks history and wouldnt be sorry not to see him back. He was ok. But out with the old and in with the new. |

the same people onboard with Bradley getting the Max..wont be onboard when Juwan's deal is up & he's due 20-27 million per year....I will be right here to tell you that he deserves his Max too..But the great thing is there is still time in this year for Bradley to show you that he isnt worthy of Max Salary over Max years.....Btw, Antonio Davis is definetely a franchise type player....The Raptors future depends on Antonio Davis...this summer...he goes. ..Vince is surely to go..(Btw, Antonio is good as gone).....

Mavinator....I fully accept the fact that we have the greatest new owner in the NBA....But just because Cuban has the money doesnt mean he has to "show them the money." Its going to become league-wide the moniker "Easy Mark" because he pays players whether deserving or not the Max.

I think we should all keep in mind that the DallasBasketball article is pure speculation at this point and just one possible scenario. Whether or not Cuban intends to max out Bradley probably won't be known until this summer.

Yes Peter coined the moniker.. because of Cuban's insistance on throwing 3 million in on all trades. As you all know...Peter is a Cuban Hater & Mark has made a fool out of Vecsey on more then one occasion. Peter Vecsey is about qualified as your postal carrier. He is no NBA insider...guys dont even like him.

Vescey used to include an "Easy Mark Cuban" comment in almost every one of his NY Post columns, even if it had nothing to do with the Mavs. The guy's such an ass.. That's why I hope that nick never sticks.

As a league, NBA players are not overpaid. Simply because as a whole the players earn for the teams more than they are paid.
Bradley is a good person (even tho I don't think a lot of mormonism) so I say good for him.

madape... i will hold back on any negative comments i have personally about your knowledge out of respect for other people that post on this board.
I know he didn't offer juwan the contract that he has. Mark Cuban is the man that is paying for the final years of it though. He did decide to trade for juwan in spite of the huge contract that he had. no other owner in the NBA was willing to touch the juwan howard because of the contract that he had. Cuban was willing to dish out the money, ...that's why trading for juwan sends a message that cuban isn't afraid to spend money when he thinks it'll help the team. and no..juwan does not deserve anywhere near the maximum salary either. end of story thanks bye |

Every one is dead set on the fact that Cuban is going to spend all that money even on dirk. Madape, I know he CAN resign Dirk however I'm saying even as the owner do you think realistically he can justify paying Fin, Dirk, Juwan and Bradley the same amount? Cuban has shown he doesn't care about dishing out the money, NO ONE questions that (Getting fined over $300,000 says it if nothing else does)however from a basketball standpoint it makes no sense and Cuban is no idiot either. He can't justify that in his own mind. Like someone else said, that means in two years.
Also, if you really believe when that new arena is built that tickets prices won't go up, you're kidding yourself. Cuban is a great owner, but a business man first.

Booth will probably be at the top of Cuban and Nellie's to-do list this offseason after locking up Finley to a max deal. You guys still think Bradley will be getting $6-8mil a year?

No way, we'll see what Zhi-Zhi can do. Booth is slowly starting to play more minutes too. Regardless, they won't pay Bradley that much anymore, I'm sure of it!!!

But from what's been said, Zhizhi is more of a jumpshooting 3 right now (like Dirk early on). So other than Booth, Bradley's really the only other natural center on the team.
I'd also still like to get Laettner back, but re-signing Booth definitely comes first. This kid's going to be something special! |
