And J.J. Barea goes to the T'Wolves. Just what they needed, another PG, meanwhile they got rid of the one they had that could actually play during the draft (Jonny Flynn). I don't think Barea's a huge loss for Dallas, especially since they're banking on picking up Deron Williams in the offseason. To me though overall it looks like the Mavs are just gonna be ok this year, not championship caliber
Cuban can afford to not win a title this year. I'm sure he would, but he's also a smart owner. He's looking long term (Deron Williams) and not taking on pieces that will kill cap space. Since they won last year, no one is really going to get on the team if they come up short. Personally I don't think Dallas is as good as last year. Chandler and Barea fit their team. They may not be the most talented players, but they were the best fit. Odom is a good all around player, but he can't give you what Chandler does. Delonte West can't give you what JJ Barea does and Vince Carter washed up 3 years ago.
Also, Josh McRoberts is expected to sign with the Lakers now that the OJ Mayo deal fell through. LA goes from Lamar Odom to Josh McRoberts. -_-
