Who have the Mavericks overpaid for to help the team? They let Nash go so they could sign Dampier. Nash goes on to become league MVP for Phoenix and Dampier isn't even in the starting lineup. Where Cuban has spent money is on the coaching side, where you can make an impact spending hundreds of thousands instead of millions, and especially in mining statistical data and working with a coach who would enthusiastically use that data. Who knows, some of our stat-minded posters on NSBB might be welcomed into the organization. That's why I would be excited about Cuban potentially getting involved. Yeah but you have to look at it this way -- Dallas had acquired Jason Terry and drafted Devin Harris. He could live without spending a lot of money on a PG because Terry is a solid vet and Harris is quickly becoming a great player. They needed a big body, and they got one in Dampier, it just hasn't worked out. Cuban knows what positions he needs to fill and what he needs to spend to fill it. He'd be a great fit here.
