it has 0 to do with dirk why players wont sign in dallas. it has everything to do with players wanting to go to huge markets like LA or NY, a party city like miami (wish the spurs would have moved to austin
) or just stay with their franchise.
hell, when was the last time a big time free agent signed with the celtics? or sixers? or the bulls? thats why the mavs cant be chasing pipe dreams and need to concentrate on rebuilding through the draft and the bargain section of free agency or with good trades.
