Somene Please Explain This To Me...

Imagine your a highly competitive NBA team that has failed for 3 years to get over the hump and make an NBA finals appearance.

Your two biggest weaknesses are your financial situation and your interior defense.

You have come extremely close to the title in the past year with your current team. Maybe you were only stopped corrupt game fixing officials or difficult league rules.

With that being the case, how should you spend your off-season? Doing whatever you can to finally get over the hump without completely compromising your team and financial future hopefully.


What did they actually do though? First they sold off one of their first round picks for cash. Then they drafted 6 foot tall power forward Alando Tucker with their other.

Alright, you've kept from committing to a very small future financial burden congratulations. It definitely did not make your team any better. So whats your next move?


Or it could be to trade what interior defense you do have to save money while giving up future unprotected draft picks to do so as they choose to do. But hey, they got a second round pick in next year's draft in return.


If the next move they make is not to take the trade exception they received and bring in another elite player making all of these moves simply cost cutting measures before a spending spree then this is completely insane. If some future Hall of Famer does not walk through that door soon, then it will be clear that this man would rather have a few millions dollars than an NBA championship.


I always like to think that if I was rich enough to buy a pro sports team I would be rich enough not to mind losing 10 million a year running my club. But if this situation plays out the wrong way, then it will become all the more clear that most of the NBA billionaires would take the money and run. This makes me love Mark Cuban.
