Marc Cuban has definitely seen Chris Paul own the Dallas Mavericks over the year and Mark Cuban has finally figured out that, if you can’t beat’em, trade for’em in the summer.
Picture Chris Paul in a Mavericks uniform. The thought has apparently crossed Mark Cuban’s mind. Rumor has it the Mavs brass let the powers that be in the Big Easy know before the trade deadline that they’d take the Hornets’ two worst contracts off their hands in a package with Paul. I’d wager the value of Paul’s four-year, max contract extension that kicks in next season that the Mavericks will put on the full-court press with that proposal this summer. Acquiring Paul, a perennial MVP candidate who hasn’t even hit his prime yet, and a couple of his overpaid pals would be a no-brainer basketball deal for the Mavs. For the Hornets, such a deal would make sense only because of the dollars. The Hornets are a prime example of a team that might have to make a desperate, cost-cutting deal due to the economy.
Unless Mark Cuban has used his billions to create a clone of Michael Jordan secretly frozen somewhere. The Hornets will be getting straight hood winked if they trade away the goodness that is Chris Paul.
Dallas needs a centre not a point guard but this could be a great oportunity for the mavs !! But i wonder who would leave dallas in echange ??!! dirk? hope not …
