[...] Being Mark … 5 and 6. The next season was even better and worse: 67 wins, utter domination of the regular season, followed by that first-round loss to the Warriors… and that damned Nellie. The season after that, 2007-2008, you started 35-17 but that was only No. 3 in the West as everything changed. The Lakers … [...]

[...] Being Mark … it together. Of course, dying to help, you got him Dennis Rodman, who scuttled the rest of that season like an anvil dropped from space. In subsequent years, you and Nellie disagreed about which of you was the genius, but you managed to put your personal feelings aside and let Nellie do what he does … [...]

Of course Kidd is a all-time great point guard, there’s no need to even discuss that. Chris Paul is closer to his prime than Kidd, so obviously he had the upper hand. Cuban thought he had a chance to win it with Jason, and he was wrong. I still LOVE Mark and the Mavs. My fave 3 (mavs, grizzles, and blazers) teams aren’t great but you don’t give up hope.

“Kidd could never shoot, and is not an “all time great”. - James obviously doesn’t know what a REAL point guards role is… Kidd will probably still average double figures in scoring for his entire career when he retires, but even then, it’s making your teammates better, passing the ball well, that makes you a good point guard. PLUS he’s one of the best guard rebounders ever, and 2nd to total TRIPLE DOUBLES in the history of the nba, if that doesn’t qualify to make you an all time great, than what would? oh, and i have him in my fantasy league this year.. his average steals per game have been awesome as well…

never mind Mark, how about Kevin McHale trading KG for Al Jefferson & junk. When the Lakers were offering Andrew Bynum AND Lamar Oden for KG.
McHale “Gave” away KG to his main love,the Boston Celtics.
If I was a T_Wolves fan.I’d be pissed.

Maybe trading for Kidd was wrong, but Jason is definitly an “all time great.” He took the stunning badly Nets to the finals two times and is one of the greatest PGs all time (Paul has to prove that). The Mavs aren’t as good as 2006 and it’ll be a long time before they reach the finals again, but no team likes to match’em in the playoffs (though it seems they’re first round fodder, just have big potential). IMHO you can’t blame Cuban for the trades, he tried everything he could do to give his team a final shot. That’s way better than watch your team heading into the no man’s land of the Western Conference (they apparently were).

Jason Kidd can’t shoot. It was obvious before the trade. Kidd could never shoot, and is not an “all time great”. No way is Kidd better than Chris Paul. Not even in his prime. Cuban lost it, Devean George gave him a Mulligan, and Cuban lost it again. What a waste of money and Devin Harris.

I think keeping this team till the end of the season will prove that they can make good… im a kidd fan… i know he’ll find a way to make the whole team better, and I think they are already starting to.

This is a bone headed article. Each of it’s points can be easily rebutted. For most of the rebuttals search Cuban’s blog. He’s addressed them all before.

As an entrepreneur you make decisions based on data you have, rationale and a gut instinct. Whatever happens, you don’t look back.

So when this article says “Unfortunately, there’s a certain point at which you’re out of good moves—and you’re there.”

An entrepreneur is never out of good moves.
