Mark Cuban on Why Things Had to Change

Posted on May 5th, 2008 4:22pm by Eric Celeste

His blog post just went up. Read it. Good for understanding what this team was and is thinking. My takeaway: He realized Avery could not coach Jason Kidd. What’s yours?

    Sounds like an owner that likes to use “we” a lot, but flies off to a Cubs game instead of firing his head coach face-to-face. “We” works for him when it is convenient.

    The window of opportunity for championships has closed on this team and the Kidd trade was a knee jerk last gasp exclamation point.

    Not going to read it. I stand firmly in the corner with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and his contempt for these “sports” bloggers. I prefer to get my information from legitimate sports outlets.

    I can’t decide if the Kidd trade or the entire ‘07-’08 season would be considered “jumping the shark” for the little Mavericks.

    MushMouth: You realize the post Eric linked to is from Mark Cuban, yes? That he is the “sports” blogger in question? Yes? I mean, we can cut it up like an interview, if it makes you comfortable to get your news from Cubes DMN-style, but this is the unfiltered source. Again–Eric linked to a blog post from MARK CUBAN. So if you want to get news from MARK CUBAN, by all means go ahead and clink that link, which will send you to a post from MARK CUBAN.

    Um, Zac, it’s called sarcasm.

    Mr. Zac Crain -

    Um posted while I was digging the article up.
    Interesting that the whole blogger controversy was started because of a post about FireAvery.com

    In my defense, I had been drinking when I commented. MushMouth, well played.

    Everyone else, I love you.

    Mr. Zac Crain-

    I admire a man who drinks and blogs at the same time.

    If you should ever decide to relocate to the friendly burgh to the west I would be honored to purchase vast quantities of various ales and spirits for your consumption and launch a campaign to elect you mayor.

    Good day and good cheer good Sir!
