Outside Dirk, and maybe Josh Howard , he has been an abysmal evaluator of pre draft talent. They haven't drafted well at all in his tenure. It's actually quite alarming and it's something that goes under the radar



They've had 2 lottery selections since Cuban has owned the team I think. They've under-performed but those picks have horrible return rates anyway. They've always been more valuable to use in buying other proven talent, which he has done repeatedly.

Devin Harris is a good player who has also reached his slot value in my opinion.

David robinsons greatness gets forgotten because of Hakeem's greatness. I don't think we truly realize how gifted he was. He's kinda treated like how Clyde is. Guys that just happens to play at the wrong time with a guy at their position that was arguably the best ever at their position. Kinda like Duncan and KG

Deandre Jordan handled this entire situation like a child. He fits the Clippers perfectly.

Seriously, how does Chris Broussard still have a job as a sports reporter on any level?

This guy has been called out over and over, he blast out the stupidest shite which is almost always quickly proven wrong.

What is his fricking value that ESPN keeps him around?

Not this one in general, but I meant since winning the title, this team has digressed further and further because he thinks he's playing NBA 2K15 and can just pull off all of these signings and pointless trades. He has no clue what to do with the draft, nor how to hire the proper coaches (not including Carlisle) to develop the guys he actually does draft that he winds up shipping off a season or two later


I think you mean that they've regressed, and most teams do regress after winning a championship. It's really hard to stay on top in the NBA.

The Mavs were dogshit for years before Cuban bought the team. They had 10 straight losing seasons before he came into the fold, and now they've won 50+ games 12/15 years (one was a strike shortened season). Seven of those years they've advanced past the first round, and they've been to two NBA finals. Teams that have won a title and participated in at least two NBA Finals since 2000:

Lakers
Spurs
Pistons
Heat
Celtics
Mavericks

That's pretty elite company. Other than the Lakers and Spurs, the Mavs have been the most consistent team. The Lakers, Spurs and Heat all had superior cores during their championship years, too. BTW, total wins from 01-15:

San Antonio - 859 (57/yr)
Dallas - 796 (53/yr)
LAL - 711 (47/yr)
MIA - 674 (45/yr)

That's easy - Lebron knew for years he was forming a super-team with Wade and Bosh. They planned it in the previous Olympics. Then, he turned around and acted like he was actually interested in returning to the Cavs even though he had clearly quit on them just prior in the playoffs.

Still don't get what being a Cavs fan has to do with it. I'd call any professional athlete a child that handled a situation the way Deandre Jordan did, regardless of the teams/players involved.

Am I not supposed to support the Cavs because their owner wrote a petty letter in the heat of the moment? Seems logical.

The only thing that would've made it better is if he had hat flipped the Mavericks

I actually totally agree with you. I just assumed that's what he was talking about. Jordan comes off looking unprofessional and stupid.

I mean that's what I figured he was taking about too, but I just don't get his angle.

I'm sure he was calling and texting him. He's already said he couldn't get anyone on the phone including this morning.


Broussard is an idiot.
