Carlisle/Cuban
 

If they lose this game with Roddy Beaubois on the bench, Mavs fans should burn down their stadium.

The Douche-Meter goes on tilt every time Mark Cuban is mentioned.

The f.ucking guy allows the TNT camera crew to film him working out before the game.

I'm not a Spurs fan unless they're playing the Mavericks. I can't wait to see Cuban's litany of excuses for what went wrong. They went out and made the blockbuster mid-season move that he wanted and it didn't mean a thing.

The Mavs now have the distinction of being the first team to lose in a 7 game series in the first round as both the #1 and #2 seed.

NT

I normally don't care about the Mavs, but I'd like to see Dirk get a ring because he's a Top 5 talent.

Cuban has to cut loose the dead weight. Namely Dampier and Terry. Kidd, Beaubois, Butler, Nowitzki and Haywood is a good base.

Dallas is screwed. They arent getting rid of Dampier or Terry or Marion or Kidd or Stevenson because they have terrible contracts.

They arent adding preseason unless they unload a whole lot of guys that look pretty untradable. Perhaps they can flip Dampier/Stevenson to someone at the trade deadline that is looking to free up cap space in 11-12. They are going to have to probably overpay to keep Haywood.

Says on that site that Dampier's contract next year is unguaranteed. He's just completely useless. Cutting him loose would instantly make them five wins better IMO.

Good catch

- Erick Dampier's contract is only guaranteed for 2010-11 if he plays 2100 minutes in 2009-10 - a tad over 25.6 minutes a game in all 82 games. If he does not the Mavericks can waive him with no consequence.

He only played 1280, which was about 1200 too much.

Yeah he will be gone, deservedly gone.
