Re: Kevin Durant: Mark Cuban is an idiot
I love how Cuban justified his rationale by essentially admitting that he did a crappy job of building around Dirk all these years. Wonder if he realized he was clowning himself.
Brian Geltzeiler: You see Mark Jackson getting a head coaching job as early as next year?
Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.

Re: Kevin Durant: Mark Cuban is an idiot
Cuban is not an idiot and is a savvy business man...but as a Mavs fan, I can't stand him as an Owner. He always opens his mouth saying troll-worthy **** like this, needlessly giving extra ammunition to opposing players. He's also *incredibly* overrated as far as what he's done with the franchise, getting bailed out by having a loyal, top 15 all-time Superstar. FO moves have been questionable to awful since the day Nash left, including deplorable drafting (Fazekis, Mo Ager, Cunningham, Larkin, passing on Gobert & Greek Freak, etc.)

Re: Kevin Durant: Mark Cuban is an idiot
My guess is that Cuban will wake up tomorrow and realize his emotions got the better of him and text Westbrook to apologize.
If he doesn't then it's pretty clear who the real idiot is.

I hate these kinds of arguments, if you are not at 100% mental capacity for a playoff game (as a healthy star player), you might as well retire on the spot. These things don't matter one bit, if anything they can bait a player into trying too hard/playing differently. This wasn't the series where this was going to matter though, of course. Even at full strength we would have lost, it's a miracle we won a game. Anyway, Durant is right, Cuban made an idiotic statement, although I always found it funny how insecure Durant is. He is constantly mad at somebody and can't take media criticism at all.

Re: Kevin Durant: Mark Cuban is an idiot
Cuban needs to realize that trolling is a art and not say things like that in the midst of a series.

Westbrook's always going 100 percent but when you give extra motivation, its there for any player. Its why a team comes out harder in an elimination game than earlier in the series. If you think you're giving it 100 percent, you're not. You can always go harder.

Everyone who thinks that Cuban doesn't think highly of Westbrook is an idiot. He obviously made this statement to piss off Westbrook and bait him into a 9 for 30 shooting night. And the plan backfired.

Re: Kevin Durant: Mark Cuban is an idiot
No doubt in my mind that Cuban was trying to troll Westbrook into shooting the Thunder to a loss. Unfortunately for Cuban, he was wrong and now he has to deal with the backlash. Still, I applaud him for trying. I am dumbfounded that anybody actually takes what he said seriously.
Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

How is he insecure for having a teammate's back?
Russ has taken a beating his entire career, he's playing the best ball of his career and he has Cuban calling him a regular all-star. He directly isolated Westbrook for no reason.
Cuban needs to keep things to himself.

Re: Kevin Durant: Mark Cuban is an idiot
Dirk's response was, "I'll take him." Probably a subtle jab at Cuban since he's never put a player of Russ' caliber beside him...

Westbrook is definitely a superstar, no doubt.
