It kind of chaps my ass that Cuban is all the sudden uber-concerned about the payroll and how much he's spending on the luxary tax. This dude wanted to throw his money around like CRAZY when this team was multiple pieces away from a championship contender. Now, we're probably one legitimate piece away from a Larry O'Brien trophy, he wants to sit on KVH's contract (the only real asset we have outside of the Big 3) and hope someone gives us something valuable for the bunch of crap we have on the roster outside of Dirk/Josh/Devin ... Nobody wants the Terry or Dampier BS contracts. Diop is nothing more than a throw-in. Stackhouse's contract is at least manageable, but he's not overly attractive considering how he's played this year. Bass has some value, I'd assume, but again, I think he's another guy they're real questionable on moving, because they see him as an Amare-stopper. But, you've got to give up something to get something.

If they think this team is built to win a championship without any roster moves, I think they're sorely mistaken, and I think that's an overwhelming majority opinion...

Does anyone else feel like the Cuban of 2003 would have made some serious shake ups on this roster by now? Cuban of old would have dove head-first into the Kidd, Pau, Shaq, etc rumors and done everything within reason to get them in Dallas, money wasn't an issue. He didn't always make the best moves from a personnel standpoint, but you knew he was out there trying, willing to shake things up. Keeping the team together and intact after the 2005 Finals trip seemed like a great idea. And it was, for 82 games. After the playoff collapse last year, and the inconsistent, unmotivated, seemingly bored performances in the first half of this year, this team needs to do [i]something[/i].
