I agree with Truthteller's rant. It's in your name, you tell it like it is! I was really pissed when the Mavs lost Nash. If what you're saying is true and Nash was willing to take less money (how much less I don't know) this makes this even more reprehensible.

<div>TJR, as I remember, Nash absolutely did not want to leave Dallas. I think he was only like 30, when Cuban decided to "go younger" with Terry at point guard...The link below confirms Nash did everything he could do to stay....and Cuban words to Letterman are total bull$hit -- Nash played great for Dallas, his success in Phoenix should only surprise a total fool.</div>
<div></div>
<div>But as I noted before, a Nash & Nowitzki tandem dominating the league would've been too tough for the Marxist that run the NBA to take, so Commrade Cuban was just doing what he "had to do", by splitting up the pair...By the way, MarcusChabenisky (Cuban's real family name) showed his true colors last year when he handed 37 year old point guard Jason Kidd a fat 3-year deal. So much forneeding a"young point guard"

I never understood all the hype Jason Kidd received during his career. In his prime he was pretty good but never what the media made him out to be. His career shooting percentage is only 40 %. That's pretty poor if you ask me.

<div>Good news on Blake going to the Lakers. At the very least,he should take Farmar's minutes and, more importantly, he's away from the woeful Clippers. And who knows, with the age they have at point guard, Blake might get a chance to start?....Actually, I was "really hoping" the Lakers would trade for Kirk Hinrich last spring, as rumors were running rampant they wanted him. Turned out once the Bulls traded Salmons, Hinrich stayed. </div>

<div>With Wade possibly going to Chicago, it looks like Kirk is going to the Wizards. Amazingly, media reports claim Wizards' GM Ernie Grunfeld has coveted Kirk for his defensive skills since he was at Kansas...it's a surprise, because Grunfeld has never seemed to like trading for or drafting white players, dating back to when he ran the Knicks in the 1990's.</div>
