As noted above, I won't believe JB was really willing to sign when DFS did this spring until a source other than Rick Brunson confirms.   Not buying it.

He would've signed before the season and probably in early January as well.  However, after we waited to see whether he was needed to be part of a deal with Porzingis that ship had sailed. I don't blame Cuban/Nico for waiting until the season started and for JB to prove his worth,  but the critical point would've been to sign JB after his play during the Covid issues we had during Christmas/New Year's.  That was our chance to get him signed on the cheap.

You aren't unique in that. Donny/Cuban mismanaged shit for years and now it is what it is.   So to some extent new GM's hands are tied but that won't stop a lot of people from blaming him if we take a step back next year. 

I expect a setback. We caught lightning in a bottle last year. I do not expect this roster setup to sustain that success we had. Denver and LAC were injured last year as well. Minneosta and NO should continue to get better. Your usual teams will still be there. Atlanta did the same thing we did and then had a big setback. I don't expect to fall off as far as they did but to expect another WCF appearance or a Finals appearance is not being realistic. 

And yes, this front office/Cuban since the 2011 title have been god awful. They wasted the rest of Dirk's years and are on their way to doing that with Luka. They aren't there yet because we did get to the WCF but with a player like Luka, your expectations are much greater than that. And being a consistent contender.

I don't think he necessarily would have signed then.  The only person that has gone on record that I've seen was fucking Rick Brunson who 100% already had an agenda when he made those comments.  If you have seen that confirmed by someone else let me know.

“Shout out to Luka,” O’Neal said. “When I arrived in Luka’s town, some people picked me up, they drove me to a mansion that Luka had set up for me. I had the pizza there, I had the hookah there, I had the fruit, they escorted me to the show. Luka said, ‘Shaq, ain’t nothing going to happen to you when you’re in my town, Mr. O’Nealovich’ — that’s what they called me. So shout out to Luka and Goran Dragic because their people really set it up for me.”

very cool!  Shaq better give Luka more love on TNT next season.

Crossposting from the Texas State Fair thread:

Went to the Mavs Vault at the Hall of State Building it wasn't worth the time. If you are a Mavs fan you already know all this stuff anyways, and there are some game worn jerseys you can look at (is that supposed to be cool and awe-inspiring?) with the big center piece being the display of the 2011 Championship trophy. I assumed it was a high-quality replica for roadshows like this one, but this video claims it's real. 

If you are a passionate MFFL (like weirdly into the Mavs not just a big fan) you would probably like it. If you are limited on time and/or don't want to walk all the way over to that side of the Fair ground from Midway, I'd pass.
