2011 is seeming more and more like ancient history. JET (Jason Terry) has signed with Boston. Deron Williams spurned the Mavs to stay with the Nets. D-Will was playing the Mavericks the entire time. He never had any intention of leaving the Nets now that they are heading to Brooklyn. The Mavs could not offer the same amount of cash as the Nets because of the new CBA. But Williams needed leverage.
I find it interesting there were no other parties involved in the pursuit. The guy has a rep as a coach killer (forcing legendary coach Jerry Sloan into retirement) and a money-man. And when Mark Cuban eschewed the recruiting trip to film a TV ep of The Shark Tank and Dirk bailed and went to Wimbleton it became clear that they knew this was a losing cause.
So the Mavs blew up their title team for this? We thought this past season might be worth it to get some big time free agents in the summer. Now it looks like were stuck with scraps wasting Dirks final years. Geez it's depressing to think about.
