If Les Alexander and Mark Cuban switched teams, would the Rockets be better?

Cuban let Nash go for nothing and he got 2 MVPs. Forgot about that one.

 

Damn, Ralph looks like an alien there.

 

Another excellent point

 

SMH at the poll, Mark Cuban is an arrogant pr**k who has made many mistakes as an owner.

He may be a great business man but he is an idiot as an owner.

 

Now you're desperate. You know I've dodged nothing. I didn't leave out facts to start this, dear friend. You did. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, however. You probably forgot that Finley and Nash were there, along with Dirk. The fact that Cuban had his Big 3 in place before buying the team has all but destroyed your argument.

My only concern now is that many voters were not provided all of this deeply relevant information before casting their electronic ballot. I fear many now have regrets about their decision and that is unfortunate.

 

I wonder how good the Mavs would have been if Dirk had **** knees like the Rockets' superstars.

 

Would you trade Les Alexander and Daryl Morey for Mark Cuban? That's a much more interesting question (though I guess implied). I'll take Alexander so long as Morey is the GM.

How long will it be until the Mavericks acquire a player the caliber of Harden?

 

What about giving someone like Steve Ballmer a chance... He is a good motivator

 

I wish there were an off-button for injuries. A guy like Yao deserved better. He also deserved his healthy seasons, like 2004-2005, to end fairly. Not by underhanded off-the-court tactics. When thinking about Cuban, one must also remember his despicable actions:

He's good if he's smart enough to fire Doc Rivers.

 

Absolutely shameful... Just because the vote is now tightening, you're resorting to deception!? Being generous, I will once again give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you mispoke, but you must correct yourself. Mr. Alexander was at the helm for both championships and he had a significant impact on the second, bringing in Clyde Drexler.

Let's have this debate the right way. The people of this wonderful site deserve that.

 

Well... yeah I definitely recalled the Nash/Finley thing wrong (they weren't quite a big 3/MVP off the bat, Finley was the only one to make the all star team in 2000) but obviously that's a great team to grow from, however, the one thing I know I'm not recalling wrong is how the Rockets handled Hakeem in the end. That was some bull****, and as much as I don't like Cuban, it looks like he's going to keep Dirk till he retires. Les should have just kept Hakeem, it's not like it mattered anyway, houston won 1 playoff series since Hakeem, it's almost like a curse (I'm not superstitious but Wth, Rockets went from winning to **** in the post season).

I mean for the team to make the finals 2x in the 80s, 2x in the 90s (and win), to **** so far in the 00s and 10s has me concerned.

I'd like to see the total playoff win total between Cuban vs Les, even with Les having a few extra years, Cuban has continued to have decent showings in the playoffs, hell he even went through SAS a few times. The Rockets might win against the Spurs in the regular season but I'd doubt they could do it in the playoffs. I mean I know Les' comments were taken out of context about playoff success not mattering, but it has been so long I'm starting to forget what it's like to not be forced to watch other fans teams in the post season.

 

Yes, I remember this, but don't worry Cuban/Mavs got screwed too in the 06 finals. Tim even came out about it as well. Basically how it was fixed.

 

Mavs didn't land Bosh either.

Or any other superstar except for Chandler Parsons.
