Point Blank
...
Former Maverick fan here. DJ made the right decision for himself----something about the Mavs didn't feel right obviously. He knew it was best to stay among his family of bruthas, even if they're not perfect. This situation is much deeper than a player changing his mind and I wouldn't expect Cacs to even overrstand. This is about culture and comfort. Times are changing and it's on time. DJ wouldn't have been comfortable in Dallas, as the Mavs organization has continually shown disloyalty to their players for years, even before their Championship. After helping Dallas to the WC finals in 2003, NVE was thrown under the bus and MC didn't have the common courtesy to give him a call. NVE was pissed. The following year, MC let Steve Nash walk after being loyal and having a hand in pulling the Mavs from the ranks of the laughing stock of the NBA. He treated the Canadian like a junkyard dog. Mark Cuban has been rejected by the following free agents: Alonzo Mourning, Tyson Chandler, Dwight Howard, Gortat, Deron Williams, Al-Farouq Aminu, Monta Ellis, DeAndre Jordan, Michael Redd, Jason Kidd, Carmelo Anthony, etc. He hasn't landed one big fish in 15 years as a owner. The question becomes, 'Why can't Cuban land a big free agent?' 'Why are the big FA's passing up Dallas? Hmmm.....MC making comments about being scared of a black man in a hoodie did wonders for recruiting tier 1 players. All of the tier 1 black players have jumped ship and the tier 2 and 3 are happy to be getting paid. Amar'e Stoudemire will be signing with the Heat. What really happen between Carlisle (who I never liked) and Rondo? What's wrong with Dallas peeps? The elephant in the room nobody wants to address...stay tuned. Formers players will start talking in a min.
Good move DJ.![]()
