A federal judge dismissed the suit the SEC brought upon Cuban that alleged Cuban was part of some inside trading for Mamma.com when he sold off his shares, avoiding losing $750,000 in total.

Cuban's lawyers claimed that he was not an insider so the suit is mute on SEC's claims. Apparently the judge sided with Cuban and gave the SEC 30 days to make an amended complaint.

Good for you Cuban. Hopefully the SEC can just drop the case all together and stop wasting money pursuing more actions against you.

Orlando hasn't announced it but a person with knowledge and anonymity has reported to the AP that Bass agreed to a 4 year deal with the Magic, with an escape clause after 3 years.

Good luck Bass, we will miss you in Mavland.

The dealings were between 4 teams. Shawn Marion though is a Maverick and Stackhouse gets sent to the Grizzlies.

The Mavericks also picked up Kris Humphries, center Nathan Jawai and cash went from Toronto to Dallas. Greg Buckner is now a Maverick for the 3rd time who is coming in from the Grizzlies. Antoine Wright and Devean George are going from Dallas to Toronto.

Wright was okay but won't be missed. Devean George already has a ring and comes off as a paycheck player to me who didn't really apply himself while in Dallas, so he definitely won't be missed.

It's been reported that Bass has started talks in dealing possibly with Orlando. Reported is a 4 year deal worth 18 million. I know the Mavs wanted to try and keep him and Singleton but I'm sure Bass is looking for more playing time, possibly a starting role. Can't be that bad if he goes to Orlando to play alongside Dwight Howard for a possible ring in the near future.

It's been reported that Jason Kidd is staying put in Dallas, most likely to finish out his career in Dallas. Supposedly it's a 3 year deal worth 25 million. Kidd will probably play a major role in Dallas, especially with mentoring Little Jose and Rodrigue Beaubois who is coming aboard from France after the draft.

Also in the works supposedly is acquiring Marcin Gortat from Orlando, which in my opinion is a good move for a big man to backup Dampier before he departs and hopefully take on a full role or starting role. Watching him play with Orlando in the playoffs and finals was exciting, he's got a good open look shot that I think could help Dallas down in the paint.

If Dallas keeps their team intact, maybe perhaps getting someone else worthy from a Dampier, Stackhouse and even Josh Howard trade, we could be building the team that gets us back into competition in the West. The only teams that really scare me now is the Lakers and Nuggets, who only got better after the season is over with some of the players they've picked up.
