Mark Cuban: "Mavs better off without Dwight Howard"

What's up there, Mark?
Is that the jig?

Where have we heard this before? Oh, that's right. The same lie every other team in the league told themselves when they missed out on the LeBron James sweepstakes in 2010. It's the same web of poop Cuban is trying to spin to the media and the Dallas fan base now after missing out on Dwight Howard.


"I think we've put ourselves in a spot where we're in a better spot than we were at if we got just the one max-out deal," Cuban said when asked by ESPN during summer league games in Las Vegas.


If this was really the case, why even bother going after Howard at all and focus on other available free agents from the beginning? Like O.J. Mayo, who suited up for the Mavericks last season, and now has traveled up north to waste away in Milwaukee.


While Dallas has signed the likes Monte Ellis, Jose Calderon and Wayne Ellington this offseason, this year hardly had the free agent market that would leave a team to think they are "better off" when not landing a superstar like Howard.
