Lets be careful what we wish for on the NBA imposing a hard cap....A big key to the Mavs success was that Cuban willing to go over it and pay out of his own pocket to bring in key guys and the Mavs will need it if they are going to resign a bunch of their FAs, which include Tyson, Caron, and J.J. among others. Cuban will have to payout a bunch to keep this team intact. I hope he can bring everyone back, but realistically I'm not sure that everyone will be back.
I understand your concern and though I am not familiar with all the team's financial standpoints, I would like to think all teams would be affected. Can Lakers pay kobe and keep odom, and bynum? Can memphis pay Randolph and Gay? OKC westbrook, perkins, durant....I could go on and on. I am curious to see what we do with Caron.

Did anyone else see this?
The first thing that I pictured was Mark reproducing the trophy itself and giving each player and coach a replica.Originally Posted by Mark Cuban on ESPN.com
Yeah, I did read that and unfortunately I cannot provide any insight. Its Mark Cuban, if anyone can provide insight to Cuban, then they may just be Nostradamus

No clue either on what Cuban will do in terms of championship bling. I hope he does a ring, but am intrigued as to what else he could come up with? Maybe he'll do both?
Anyone hear about the $90,000 bottle of booze he brought to the Miami nightclub the night they won it all? That man knows how to party!
I'm sure he had a special savings account specifically for finals celebration...its been accruing for quite some time

shoot, $90k is literally pocket change for him, the life of a multibillionaire.
The best part about this is of course the Mavs winning the championship, but a close second for me is that worthless POS Dampier does not get one first. Worst acquistion of the Donnie/Cuban era.
The parade is going to go right by my office and there have been seas of people out here now for hours before it has started....Crazy, crazy stuff.
I thought about going to the parade/celebration, but knew there'd be a few too many people there for my liking. Wouldn't have minded being in the AAC though. Watched it on TV..I thought it'd be incredibly cheesy, but it was pretty cool. IMO

I rode the train out there and it kinda reminded me of OU/texass back in 09. The parade was awesome and glad it didn't end like the 93' Cowboys Super Bowl parade.
Also, for those who were curious about Cuban not wanting rings, players decided they want rings so I think rings it will be but Cuban supposedly wanted to buy each player a Bentley detailed with the O'brien trophy on the hood. Just FYI

I'd take a ring and a Bentley...
...but you have to get rings, I mean...it's just what you do.

Think the Mavs did a pretty good job...They are still trying to keep their chance at another championship open, so they don't need projects right now, they need guys that have NBA experience and can fill a role for them. Fernandez is a nice add I think. One, you add some youth to the oldest team in the league. Two, he costs you virtually nothing. Three, he'll help fill the vacancies when the Mavs more than likely do not bring back Peja and Stevenson.
It'll all depend on who the Mavs bring back on just exactly how big of a role Fernandez will play. Of their major FA's, the Mavs will absolutely resign Chandler and then I think you either have to choose between Caron or JJ, but the odds of bringing both of them back are small. Both guys would have to give the Mavs a considerable discount if they really want to stay here.
