cuban should've purchased a franchise based in a big market like NY or LA or even houston instead of one located in Dallas that ain't attractive at all to big names. the best FA we got since cuban took ownership was monta ellis as far as I remember. deandre would've been arguably better if he hadn't reneged and had signed with us while he was still in prime.
we should build a team through wise drafts and trades, not by deluding ourselves with big name FAs who never seem to have considered signing with us. Even when we get a star player somehow by draft or trade, that player may probably choose to play elsewhere when contract expires (TC and JB). irony is, the team could have retained their services if cuban was willing to pay a bit more, but cuban ain't because we was mesmerized by the dream of big name FAs joining Dallas that would never come true. I wonder how cuban felt when the ex-mavs that walked elsewhere played great for their new teams while achieving personal glories (nash two straight mvp trophies, TC DPoY).
cuban needs to wake up for a few minutes and check what players we got from FA market vs. those we let walk.
