My other big argument with you and others was that I fiercely defended the Odom acquisition and the release of Tyson (based on the salary he was asking).
I am still fine that the Mavs went "plan powder" as I do believe they had promises (or leads) from Deron and Dwight's agents.
Just because you fail at something doesn't always mean it is "wrong." I still defend the logic of those decisions based on the AVAILABLE knowledge at the time. I do NOT defend not trading Marion. The evidence at the time said it was time to move him along.
That team deserved a chance to defend their title, and that is all, as far as I'm concerned.

I have no idea. I did NOT let the Marion thing go for YEARS.

How can someone so smart be so wrong about something so obvious for so long? Gotta be some kind of comedy bit.

I wanted Tyson on a one year contract. Did we ever hear if the Mavs offered that or not?

Bad predictions or misjudging a player. I think most of us had similar bad takes.
I was pro Rondo trade. Really thought he was the missing piece for one last run with Dirk. Same here. Didn’t know what a P.O.S. Rondo was at the most fundamental level. He is worse than Wade or Odom

Well, of course they did. If you think anything different, you're either not American or Mark Cuban.
I have forgiven him, partially...but I will never forget.

Nice try. I'm not getting baited into this again. I will resist.

Don't fall into the trap. HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TOOK PLACE THAT SUMMER. He's just trying to troll the absolute shit out of us, lolololololol.

Fif LOVES Marion.
The back story is that he and I were in an endless fight that started about 8 years ago and continued for the last three years of Marion's career.
My stance:
1) Marion was a basically lazy and negative defender in the regular season his WHOLE time with the Mavs, hurting them most of the time and in some massive ways at times.
2) Marion was a GREAT defender for the 2010, 2011, 2012 playoff runs. No argument there.
3) After the 2012 playoffs he was a TOTAL disaster and was getting in the way of the Mavs moving forward as a franchise.
4) I was arguing that the Mavs would have had one more run with Dirk if Marion would have been traded.
I was then vindicated with his disastrous last season in CLE and then retirement. He was totally washed up as I had been saying. The Mavs were loyal to him when they should have been loyal to others (like Tyson).
Interestingly, I can agree with a good bit of that :-)
That must be an example of hindsight being 20/20, because that wasn't your take at the time...
The things Kam typed out here weren't the primary things we argued about. I didn't think Marion was the greatest, or anything. I thought the post 2011 Mavs had bigger problems than Matrix and I argued with Kam about what Marion's advanced stats meant.

Does @"DanSchwartzman" or anyone else remember:
Can the Mavs do a sign and trade this offseason or are they hard capped and unable to do that?
I was just wondering if those Jerami Grant fans might be able to get him that way if you could send DEN a friendly contract or so that helps fill his void for them.

Grant is a player I would be willing to part with Maxi for if necessary, tbqh.

I think the Grant ship has sailed though. He’s too good. Probably worth 15-20 per

How much would you be willing to pay Grant? What's your ceiling?

I'd prefer he be making that money from the Mavs than another THJ.
