Do you guys think our Gm and Coach have the best interest of the Mavs in mind? I mean Donnie Nelson is our GM, his father and Cuban are on horrible terms with one another, would he really care about the Mavs state after his dad's fallout. I think this is quite evident with the Kidd trade that he couldn

I've thought it and wanted to post it and only didn't because I thought I would look like a crackpot or something. Thank you for verifying my fears. I do look like a crack pot!

You wouldn't have to post that to look like a crackhead....na just kidding!

I know that most mav fans embrassed the Kidd trade at first and I was definatly thinking something in the FO was wrong top make such a stupid trade.
Was Cuban selling?
Was Avery trying to get fired to join Pop?
Was Donnie secretly holding a grude?

I don't know which one was responsible for the trade, but I do soley blame Avery for shorting Hassell, Harris and Diop 5-10 MPG in lieu of Stack, Terry & Dirk at center respectively. It was their lack of playing time and the fact that they all were involved in the trade that made me believe Avery had a lot to do with the Kidd trade. However, later I heard/read something that made me think otherwise (and it may have just been from a random poster on realgm). Someone had said that Avery loved Harris because he could control him and he did not want the Kidd trade because he would have to relinquish power to make it work. I also blame Cuban for the trade because he was negotiating without a GM and announced the agreement before George consented.

This HAS to be a joke. These are grown men that are being paid to make a living.

But every grown man thought harris picks diop for kidd was an insane deal, why didnt these grown professional men see that?

The next quality daoneandonly post I see will be the first.

If you are actually thinking an elite team like the Mavericks and their faculty would seriously throw away seasons because of "not caring what happens" or being "faithful to a rival" then you are high on something. Every coach and player wants rings more than revenge on their boss, etc.

then some explain to me the rationale of the kidd trade, most fans mavs or not thought it was terrible, why didnt donnie or avery?
