He had the highest salaried roster by 20 million that season
exactly.
but let these casual star-f*ckers tell it, dirk was carrying a bunch of bums.
Nikkas talkibng bout Jason terry and Tyson Chandler when we got STARS and SUPERSTARS forming up
That just Elevates Dirks greatness he has roleplayers around him facing 3 top 15 players
Miami would've killed to have a Tyson chandler. not just that year, but all 4 years of their big 3 era.
especially 2011. yea they had the big 3, but their team was still incomplete. ESPECIALLY down low.
the mavs were built to beat the heat that year.
Name the nba starters they had in their reserves.
Only guy that was starter worthy on their bench was Jet.
darn near every player on that team was a starter in years recent to 2011.
shoot, you had a guy in corey brewer who didn't even dress half the time he was there, but he started on the squads he was on directly before & after the mavs, iirc. he prolly only got tick in the playoffs because caron butler got hurt.
the team was stocked full of vets who were recent starters, or even former all-stars as somebody already noted.
Dirk had the 2nd best coach I ever seen, a team built perfectly around him and Cuban blew it up.
if I was rick carilse I woulda took my talents to South beach
That was such a great team
And then Mark Cuban Inexplicably broke them up
ehh.
Cuban didn't break anything up. he simply couldn't afford to keep all those guys.
it was a rental team, designed to make a sneak run for the chip, and that's exactly what they did.
cant be mad at Cuban. you gotta congratulate him, if anything.
. That nikka had to get another Superstar to beat an older version of them
.
