Spurs are only good at post season and fall in play offs didnt you notice it? Its always happening to them dont know if they are been nervous if they reach in play offs or that is their cursed but really any one of those team is championship potential but this year is more interesting year since the unexpected things happen of jumping to another team of those big names of nba thats why i'd really love to watch how they would adjust their team and odds for that is very interesting on where people well probably bet.

Mark Cuban is playing Chess. He thinks he's slick. he's trying to tell the players in the league that here In Dallas we take care of our veteran's and super stars unlike Miami Heat. So Come to Dallas!!.... I guarantee you he had that on his mind when he gave dirk this new deal

Well, I get what you mean brother, in NBA this is not actually a game of real competition as we see. This is a pure entertainment and Dirk was paid for his popularity in the team and that would help the mavericks to gain from the support of the fans by patronizing the team in the coming season.

This is business my friend and money rules.

LMAO Al Horeford 4 years 113 million?

I'm I losing my mind that the nba can afford to pay good/mediocre
players this type of money?  I know Al is good but seriously 4 years
113 million? Wtf is going on, Maybe take some of that money and lower
ticket prices so when I take my kid to a game it doesn't cost $500 for
good seats?

Naw just use that money so Al Horeford can have 33 bentleys 22 baby
mama's and a partridge in a pear tree......

That is why games are rigged sometimes because they want to make the fans to be entertain, if the game is one sided it would not help the organization to generate sales and views in the international television. I believe it is rigged but great players are really great they are just favored sometimes.

This is why fan wars began in the playoffs if their favorite team magically loses because they say NBA officials are rigged. Yes, most games can be entertaining, but some plays can ruin the fun especially the refs trying to "manipulate" the game because NBA says so.

yes dirk doesn't cost that matched for his age but giving the mavs a crown when he is still on his prime might excuse this
deal fans don't want him to see going out so management doesn't have a choice.

dirk still can be a threat to any teams even he's already old but the skills that he have still in his hands
it is just Adrenalin for him to show big games, we need to keep watching him because maybe it is his last
season and the last one would be sweeter.

Dirk is not worth $50M 2-year contract at age 38. The Mavs are obviously compensating him for the discounts he'd been giving them since 2010.

When you're paying a player for things that were done in the past, that's loyalty.

Nope, it's not Kobe, Durant or Lebron the highest paid player. It's Mike Conley of the Memphis, his contract is worth of $153 million for 5 years. Insane right? I go crazy as soon as I saw it. Imagine its more than Michael Jordan salary when he was still playing or even Kobe Bryant or Lebron James.
