If that price plummets? Could be a short-term fit.

God, I wish Cuban was in my fantasy football league auction draft -- he's one of those idiots who refuses to pony-up big cash for players early, then ends up overpaying for mediocre players later.

Cubes better hope Durant goes to GS. They could go HARD after Dirk.

I was thinking they'd get Tyson back, but are they even willing to pay him that money?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact we are willing to pay Batum 26m a year but refuse to pay DH12 anywhere near that. And by all accounts Batum had a significantly higer usage rate than Howard and had all the opportunity in the world to showcase his skills last year. All it amounted to was a very average role player 15.6PER. Meanwhile DH12 had a career low(outside of rookie year) usage rate and played uninspired and was totally ignored by Harden but still managed to sleep walk his way to a double double and a 19PER. In a market where Mozgov is getting 16 and Noah 18 why are Mavs so willing to throw 26m per to a role player in Batum, who I like but has some similar defense/rebounding issues as Parsons and yet we want Howard at a bargain basement price with almost nothing on the roster to warrant such a bizarre picky approach? Oh and Howard fits next to Dirk about as well as you can get which is more than what I can say for Batum, who I have no idea how RC would use him. Recent wings don't tend to be flourishing under RC though(Crowder, Parsons).

I don't understand either. My only guess maybe Dirk doesn't like his attitude and doesn't want to play with him? Nothing else makes sense to me- UNLESS they're already planning to move on from Dirk officially start rebuilding.

I hope that is the point. Dirk can't be willing to sit here and play with this team and the Mavs cant' be willing to want Dirk to do it either.

Absolutely. It would be mutually beneficial to both Dirk and Dallas to split.
