Exactly. I'm sure Dwight told him what was up, I think they're boys.
But he's the only one I've seen(celebrity-wise) who came on First take and held his own against SAS loud ***

Cuban saying the mavs are better without Dwight
just say you're pissed he didn't pick the mavs to play with a washed up dirk and mess of a roster.

It depends on what they could have done with the roster after they signed Dwight. They kind of just reconstructed the Finals team from a couple years ago with Calderon, Monta and Dalembert as their new Kidd, Terry and Chandler. The pieces all fit together really well and I don't think you need a dominant center next to Dirk, you just need a guy to get rebounds and block shots. The only thing now is they still don't have that guy to build around after Dirk retires.

In a sense, The Mavs are better without Dwight, He would take up too much cap room. They can get more pieces to their team with the money they would've gave Dwight. It's not like the Mavs are stacked and just need a big men to contend. They need more pieces to make a run...

Well the Mavs signed Monta, Calderon, and Dalembert for what the cost of Dwight Howard was. Maybe even Devin too.
If you had Dirk+Dwight+Matrix, that's already 52 million. Not counting roster spot holds, Jae Crowder, Larkin, or Vince Carter, we would have very little working room.
We currently have nine guys under roster (Larkin, Mekel, Calderon, Monta, Vince, Jae, Matrix, Dirk, Dally). Devin and Wright seem like inevitabilities. Maybe Oden too. That's twelve men. With still room to add another wing player.
Don't get me wrong, I would've rather had Dwight. But. Dallas is trying to put together a team. It could fall on its face like it has the last two years. But they realized waiting for a superstar wasn't going to work.

Not really seeing where you're going with that. Monta is better than Terry ever was, Dalembert does the same things Chandler does and Calderon is a great passer like Kidd and a way better shooter but a worse defender. They're gonna have basically the same roles.

Him saying nobody wants to play with kobe cause they know the blame will never go on him and he'll never give up that top spot on the Lakers is 100% correct and is why nobody wants to play with him

He's a chucker like melo. I actually like Ellis though, wish the warriors never got rid of him.

MY GOD. This CAN NOT be serious. No way. Regardless of supporting pieces, coaching, or any other factor you bring in Steph Curry is better right now than Monta Ellis ever was, and I'm a fan of Monta.

Yeah I'm obviously in support of Monta but the only way he helps your team is by giving you an explosive scoring threat. Curry is that plus makes everyone around him better. Takes some questionable shots but if anybody in the world right now should have a green light to shoot whenever they want it's him.

My man Paul George said he would play for the Lakers next to kobe.
I have said it time and time again that monta gets buckets. Dude played next to jennings and still put up a decent state line. Him with the Mavs will be good plus cuban treats his players well. So i believe monta will do fine in the d.

Why is Kobe's owner saying he can possibly play preseason? I wish Kobe's doctor will pull a reverse Arod/Yankee owner and tell the Lakers owner to Shut the **&$ up about Kobe's rehab.
