Killa you reaching and riding too hard for ya boy
So the person in charge and overseers get no credit now?
Jordan, Pippen etc was there before Phil got there right?
Shaq and Kobe?
Fact is he was in charge when the success was had
He spent the money to keep the teams together and put supporting players in place over all these years
Let's see the Nets do that for 10 years then we can talk
The team was garbage when he got it so I have no problem starting it now and not two years ago
You got your "stars" so let's go
Who is reaching???
I'm looking at the facts.
Fact 1. Cuban buys the Mavericks in January 4, 2000. The Mavericks record that season was 40-42.
Reaching??
lets speak facts.
Can you name the Mavericks GM who assemble the core of Nash Finely and Dirk.
Hell the GM who traded Robert Tractor Traylor for Dirk. I hardly see his name spoken. Now do you think it Mark would have the same level of success if did not buy a team that had traded for one of the greatest power forwards of all time??
The fact is this the core of players were there. Let's not make it seem like Mark Cuban bought the Mavericks and hire a new gm, a new coach, they drafted and traded for said players and change the franchise.
No Steve Nash Finely and Dirk were their and were starting to build chemistry by the time he purchase them.
Which is why I list the first off season with Cuban as the owner.
I didn't see a major signing.
Jordan and Pippen were there before correct but Phil made it work.
Are we talking about owners or coaches because Don Nelson was the coach of the Mavericks before Cuban bought the team. Now if we are talking about owners and the Bulls Jerry is the reason that the Bulls dissemble after a championship year.
We are not talking coaches we are talking owners.
Point blank when Cuban bought the team the core was there.
That's like a someone buying the Thunder in 2009 and taking credit for them their success in 2010.
No. In 2009 this team had Kevin Durant Westbrook and in the summer drafted Harden. The success the team had in 2010 has nothing to do with an owner just buying team.
You didn't hire the GM that drafted these players. You didn't hire the coach. You didn't hire the scouts. No this happen before you.
That is my point. Proky bought a team where the best player was devin harris and now that is Deron Williams.
Cuban bought a team that had Dirk.
