Not sure if there is a guy I’d like to work for more than him.

Cuban seems to go above and beyond for his team. That’s cool.

After hearing all that, I took it for granted that Williams was just one more player who was used to people kissing his butt. When Cuban didn’t, Williams’ response was predictable.

Anybody else remember that?

Yeah… Cuban turned it around and said that it was a poor reflection on the Nets if all would take for him to leave there was an appearance by Cuban. Thought that was funny. Not sure if there is a guy I’d like to work for more than him.

How Dallas whiffed on every Deron Williams, I’ll never know.

I vaguely remember reading here that Williams was to meet with Mark Cuban on a particular day, but Cuban was busy filming a segment for some reality TV show. Williams felt slighted, and opened his recruitment to other suitors.

Anybody else remember that?

He served his purpose (above average scorer) when he was surrounded by Ray and Sam… but overall.. not really. He wasn’t really a likable guy. Cost them a game in ’01 ECF. Missed a gimme.

/would have gotten swept by the lakers anyway

FUCK YOU GEORGE KARL.

Cost of living in LA and Chicago is astronomically higher than it is in Orlando. PUSH.

Every good player can’t end up in NY/LA/Miami, there aren’t enough spots. Atlanta & DC both have Large Black populations/night life. They’re a good second tier. Yes to Dallas and Houston too. Boston.. I dunno.

All money being equal, I think a player is going to go to where he has the best chance of winning/being featured. Sometimes I think we think all of these guys are Carmelo Anthony fame whores.

Florida got no state tax, right? That has to be a major advantage.

Charles Barkley has said many times that this is not as big of an advantage as most people believe. You’re still taxed on all your away games not played in FL, TX, or TN.

I dunno. I think the only real “destination cities” might be NY, LA, Chicago and Miami. 4 cities and possibly 6 teams. What would make Atlanta and DC destination cities? Would Dallas be one also? Houston? Boston?

Clay Bennett for ya

Yup. OKC not being able to afford Harden was kind of not true, from what I’ve read

Oh believe me. That’s no spin. They could’ve afforded what he was asking for. Hell, I think you could’ve convinced him to take a little less money in exchange for putting in a no-trade clause.

Look at the Knicks, Bulls (before the drafted rose), Atlanta, DC, etc. Those are all destination cities too.
