Sloan even managed to somehow coach Karl Malone, but couldn&#039;t handle Williams.  Anyone that chooses to coach or play with Williams is crazy.  He and cuban are both d-bags.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Focusing on just this aspect of the Mavs/D-Will situation Cuban&#039;s pretty much on the ball here.  D-Will opened his mouth and Cuban was just there to put his foot in it.

Now, from the bigger picture Cuban needs to shut up because I don&#039;t care what he says, you sign Chandler and Barrea and give your shot a legit shot to defend their championship.  It&#039;s almost like he got over the hump and was satisfied with the one championship.  I get that but I disagree with it.  He put a lot of undue pressure on the team to perform and on Dirk in particular and essentially wasted a valuable year of Dirks remaining playing time.

Now the roster is overturned, there&#039;s really no assumption on anyone&#039;s part that they&#039;ll do anything in the playoffs, and Dirk is back to being the lone gunman.  They don&#039;t even have Terry and he was easily signable (and signed for far less with Boston than people thought he would get).

It&#039;s a pretty frustrating situation from a fans standpoint because yes we did win the title (and in an awesome way, revenge + LeBron) but man as quick as it came it was gone and the Mavs are back to being a decent team but no real threat to do anything.  Ah well...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the best known, most famous, biggest star on your team is the owner, you have an issue.  Cuban = Dana White, no matter what the players/fighters do, ultimately it&#039;s always about them. Steinbrenner is another equivalent, but at least the Yanks won multiple titles, and even George wasn&#039;t as intrusive and spotlight grabbing as Cuban.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey sometimes you can&#039;t see the forest for the trees. This guy deconstructed his team for the chance to get D-Will and possibly Dwight Howard and he does not even have the sense to show up to meet the guy. I mean he tore apart his championship roster to get D-Will....LMAO. Even if it was only a slightly improved chance that he would sign with you should&#039;nt he show up to meet him? Now your response is we want to build a team not just a superstar point guard....SMDH. Too arrogant for his own good sometimes.]]></description>
