Yeah, and you're really good at it. I love reading your stuff, as it's very focused and specific.
But, I do think Dan's onto something here. I also feel like there's a financial bottom line involved, and that Cuban has absolutely no desire to pay the luxury tax ever again, if he can avoid it. Maybe if Luka is 29 and the team has just been in the finals or conference finals 2-3 times, but he has said pretty consistently that he believes being so reckless with spending as Dirk and Nash were coming up was a mistake. Whether we agree or not, I'd say this new, thriftier Mavs approach is going to be around for awhile. I obviously don't know that what I'm saying is true, but everything they do makes more sense to me if I view it through that lens.
