The bottom line in the NBA is you don't win a ring unless you've got a superstar. It's always been that way and it always will be.

The guy had Dirk and could've properly loaded up around him to make a ring run year after year. But he only succeeded in winning one ring and all of his additions and selections to put on the team have been mindblowingly dumb.

I'm thinking once Dirk is gone, Cuban's teams will be perennial trash unless he lucks into another superstar-caliber player.

One thing we can count on, though. We will all be treated to videos of how Cuban created the arm and the leg (inventions by God Cuban himself) and his pure genius.

being in the West with the Lakers and Spurs in Dirks prime, its amazing they even got 1 ring. Before the Mavs won it, since 1979 Only Spurs, Lakers & Rockets won titles in the West

Why the hate for Cuban? Shit, I'd want an owner that acts like a fan at the game and actually cares about his team.

I like Cuban, but he seems to have ridden Dirk as far as he can

Nothing else about the team is very good

u have stupid unrealistic expectations. how many consecutive seasons has dallas made the post season? check. ring? check. i mean, cuban's tenure with the mavs so far is more successful than like 25 other teams only behind lakers, celtics, heat, spurs in a super competitive western conference.

the word failure is a joke
and he would have 2 rings if dwyane wade didn't pull off one of the most incredible finals performances of all time.

phil jackson is one of the greatest coaches of all time but he also had MJ and kobe
coach pop also considered one of the best of all time had tim duncan
yet cuban gets criticized for being successful for building around dirk? cmon man.

he hasn't been able to land any of the top free agents he's chased over the years, save for retaining Dirk

their future doesn't look very bright either, they're not positioned to improve through the draft

I love his emotion and his getting on the refs, I can relate to that

Even though that doesn't necessarily seem to be Cubans fault. He seemed to be willing to spend the money, but for some reason Dallas didn't appeal to the big name FAs, even though the city seems ok, the franchise always had a great player in Nowitzki plus a good supporting cast, that should have allowed any big name FA to contend for a title. And with players trying to squeeze the maximum out of their contracts, no income tax in Texas should have been another appealing factor, but still he couldn't land a 2nd big name to play alongside Dirk.

I think Cuban has been riding the gravy train. Once Dirk is gone, the Mavs will be nothing. Maybe a perennial shit team. And, in the end, that's just a reflection of the owner.

The Redskins' owner doesn't give a fuck whether they win or lose. But Cuban cares about winning. That makes it even more comical.

Cuban better not take Bogut and make the KD signing easy. All owners should ignore the Warriors calls about Bogut lol
