Same but he means as an expiring contract so we can have cap space next year. I have no faith in us using cap space for good players though and plus we just made the WCF losing Brunson doesn't make us a lottery team.

Would be awful for a year, but it would clear a lot of salary. And Cuban loves him some salary clearing.

Plan powder worked out so well for us.
But I know we got Luka now, I'm not sure he's a big FA attraction though.

Not even for a one year rental. Hard pass. And the Mavericks have never, ever, ever been a free agent destination. FFS, we can't even keep OUR OWN free agents. So deliberately blowing up our locker room to gamble in free agency is not a good plan.

I mean are we really considering Tim Hardaway Jr as "blowing it up"?

Losing THJ? No. Adding Westbrook? Yes. The dude is fucking cancer.
I consider that basically punting an entire season- sacrificing an entire year of Luka's career in the (ridiculous) hope that we can attract free agents in the future- because you know, the Mavs have such a great track record attracting free agents.

Well I mean we can't blame Nico and co. for this teams past sins because they weren't here for it. So we really don't know that this group can't bring in free agents.
But let's not kid ourselves here. Free agents go where the money is and where the relationship is. We've failed in the past because Dirk was our superstar and he wasn't in the "in" with the best players in the league. And Luka may be in the same boat but the Nico hiring was suppose to even things out a bit in regards to player relationship.
I'm not a big Westbrook fan myself...but if you're telling me for Powell and Hardway I could get Westbrook? I'd do it. But its more about trusting in Kidd than it is Westbrook. In regards to our talk earlier about Dragic...I think Westbrook actually offers some things in rebounding and defense and the ability to attack the paint that we don't have. He's getting the blame for the Lakers lack of success last year but it really wasn't his fault. He keeps getting in these piss poor situations with teams and now he has the reputation of a cancer.....

The short term result would be so horrid you?re risking Luka asking out. Westbrook is that bad.

Exactly. And for what? The chance to chase more free agents? No thank you. I'll take Dragic and whatever else Nico can scrape together.
Meanwhile, let's all cross our fingers and hope that Hardy actually turns out to be a quality NBA shooting guard. And two a lesser extent, lets hope that Josh Green can become an NBA player at all.
