Wonder how many one and done seasons we have to have before some folks change their mind? I expect 9/11 times a million.

I towed the line at the time when we let them all go and understand the Cuban CBA thoughts. But looking back I kinda wish we paid that man his money (just Chandler not the rest). Now we have to scratch to get another big man to play some hard D behind Dirk.

Yea but at his price...10 to 11 mill for Chandler sounds good but Chandler wanted close to 15 mill a season and there's no way he's worth that, I think one of the reasons Chandler was mad at the Mavs for not keep him was because he thought Cuban would overpay to keep him but didn't and let him walk. I miss that Dirk and Chandler combo also but Chandler was asking for Superstar money.

I assume you mean the paint coating the local Hamptons cable pole.

I don't remember him being mad at the Mavs, at least not publicly. Maybe I didn't catch the statements that suggested he was mad.

It would have been interesting to see how he would have reacted to an offer in the neighborhood of 5/60--less money per year than in New York, yet the biggest amount of money overall due to the additional year that only we could have offered. Then again, it's idle to speculate now (or six months ago for that matter). That ship has sailed.

“He never called to thank me for helping his team win the title, or wish me luck, after I decided to sign here,’’ Knicks center Tyson Chandler said the other night in Washington, after the preseason opener. “I thought he would call me, but he never did.”

Chandler is all the way in New York and still has the Mavs on his mind...
