            No additional news on the Mavericks 2015-16 "fill the roster quest". The bigger question, though, is this the time to blow this up and start collecting assets?? I'm thinking that it is.

              Probably has been for a while. Certainly if they don't get Jordan. There are NO good backup plans.

                Yes agree as much as I hate to see/say it. Its time for the mavericks to blow it up and start over. Take the losses and go(draft) after some of this fresh young talent coming out of colleges. Gosh look at all of the talent that just got drafted from the Kentucky developmental team plus Duke and others. Face it the Mavs are not a good free agent producer its just a band aid or temporary fix that gives them nothing. Cuban and the Mavs have lost a lot of their glimmer they once held years ago as a team to play for. Dirk no longer can carry this team and needs some quality secondary players. Carlisle deserves better and probably could develop some young stars. Would like to see nothing more than Dirk leaving the Mavs help developing a group of young superstars.Yes Cuban and the Mavs blow this thing help. Time ran out years ago. Too many other teams have surpassed you ie San Antonio, Houston, Clippers, Warriors, OKC.

                    Word is the Mavs are talking with the Jet to see if he would be interested in getting back on THEIR runway. Also, as previously reported, JJ Barea has talked to Miami, but that is far from a done deal. He still could come back to the Mavs.

                        Great was concerned about Mavs PG position. Barea can get the job done on offense. Anderson at 2, Parsons at 3,Dirk/Mattews 4, Jordan at 5. Would like to see more youth start at 3-4 and bring Dirk off bench.

                            $140M for Jordon and Mathews..........wow, just f@#&ing wow!!? Cuban really does have more money than brains.

                            So much for the "blowing it up" strategy. Sorry, it's hard for me to get excited over these signings, they both look like band aids to me..

                              Jordan is no bandaid, but I get what you are saying. In a way I am disappointed, especially after hearing Cuban admit that had they not gotten these guys, that's exactly what they would have done. Blow it up. Take a listen to this Cuban interview on The Ticket yesterday.

                                So now as a Mavs fan you have to hope Matthews and Parsons can come back to as close to what they were pre-injury as possible. You have to hope they take the draft seriously from now on. You have to hope they can continue to add solid bargain pieces that are complimentary to each other. You have to hope Carlisle can be the great coach and master of fitting any player combos together that we know he is.

                                If ALL of those things work, they should remain very competitive. If even one of those don't work, they could miss playoffs.

                                    Well Jordon might be a little better than a band aid, but you have to rotate him in and out during crunch time because he can't shoot foul shots. That doesn't equal $80M to me, but maybe that's today's NBA. I'm not getting the Mathews acquisition, I just remember him being a PO no show for Portland..

                                    Look at Aldridge's contract with the Spurs. It seems to me that the Mavs could have spent $140M to keep Chandler and sign Aldridge and been closer to a team that could win the West than what they've done..

                                      The Spurs acquisition of Aldridge is pretty big IMO. I could see Duncan taking on the Robinson role here and giving up the primary leadership role to Aldridge. Getting rid of Splitter and Baynes may have been necessary to get this done, but now they have to figure out who fills that role. The answer is obvious. Duncan. Duncan played Center in college. The man is seven feet tall. When he came into the league he played power forward for obvious reasons, yet even when Robinson started coming off the bench, Duncan didn't start playing Center. Not even when Robinson retired. For whatever reason the Spurs or Duncan insisted on keeping Duncan as the PF. I have always felt Duncan's natural position was Center. There is no reason he cannot be the starting Center now and play along side Aldridge.

                                      Either way the Spurs just ensured they will be legit contenders for a long time to come.

                                                        I didn't like the Jordan signing from the beginning and have said so consistently. I didn't feel he was worth the $$ then based on his performance and potential. I certainly don't want him now. He's not someone that will become " the man" that you can build a team around.

                                                        Eagle2, to answer your question; everyone has the right to change their mind, so that's not really at issue here. When you're making a decision about your professional life and the amount of $$ involved here, ADULTS examine what they really want, gather their facts and offers and then make a decision. KIDS on the other hand often don't know what they really want, usually don't get all the facts they need and often get swayed by the first compliments and offer thrown their way. DeAndre Jordan just proved that he's an immature KID.

                                                          Point taken.Definitely an immature kid along with poor advisors. I guess its no different than a high school athlete doing a flip flop after verbally committing to a university or a college coach leaving a university after recruiting athletes. No common courtesy necessary. I guess I am just too old school/fashioned where a man's word meant something (was as good as gold) or where a courtesy phone call/conversation was acceptable and understandable.

                                                            the biggest problem I have with the whole Jordan thing, is he did not even have the respect or courtesy to contact Cuban and the Mavs when he started having second thoughts. This meant the Mavs were under the impression they had a "good faith" agreement with Jordan. This had a ripple effect because the Mavs stopped pursuing or did not pursue any alternative F/A options. Had Jordan informed he Mavs of his concerns they could have pursued other Free Agents. They did not find out until the eleventh hour, by which time it was too late.



                                                            Where they go from here we can discuss on the Mavs team thread.
