    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.

    If the soft cap continues, it certainly favors the large market teams or the teams with owners that aren't afraid of the luxury tax. Lakers had highest payroll of $91.65MM followed by the Mavs at $90.76MM...Heat came in at No. 17 in the league at just under $67MM.

    The NBA salary cap is way too complex for me to bother trying to fully understand, but I'm pretty sure resigning players is pretty much a non-issue as far as money is concerned.

    Edit: nevermind. I see that you're talking about if new rules were implemented.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Re: Mavs Talk

    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

    nothing awesome like that ever happened to me when I was working at a restaurant my first few years of college. I wonder how they divided that up because where I worked at, your tips were yours to keep 100%.

    Re: Mavs Talk

    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.

    There's not an lake of liquor in the universe that's worth that kind of money.

    No.

    No, there isn't.

    Re: Mavs Talk

    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.
