According to FanNation, the Nuggets head coach Karl blasted the outbursts from Cuban during the game and especially at the end when the controversial foul with 2.2 seconds left against Billups was called, putting the Nuggets up 2 points to win the game.

Apparently Karl also cited that Cuban was getting into it with J.R. Smith at halftime about a supposed elbowing.

I'd sort of have to agree with Karl if Cuban did confront one of the Nuggets players. That's not his job, his role or his place of business. If Cuban wanted to take some type of action, he should have gone to the league.

I can understand Cuban was upset and is probably trying to protect his players but the owner belongs in his seat, owners box or in the stands.

This game was interesting to watch the Mavericks come back from a deficit. But the game ended with a bunch of bullshit calls, mostly going against the Mavericks.

First Terry was called for a foul that wasn't a foul. Secondly with 2.2 seconds left, did anyone notice that Dirk was pushed off from the two Nuggets behind him near the goal? Certainly looked like a shove to prevent him from catching the ball.

I'm surprised they didn't use an instant replay when the game is tied with so little time left with a foul call. The NBA really needs to be better at making the right call instead of allowing games to become more controversial with possible crap calls by blind officials.

According to FanNation:

"The Toronto Raptors have been looking for a small forward, and HOOPSWORLD has learned that they may have finally found their man. A deal being discussed would send troubled forward Josh Howard to the Raptors in a deal that would land Andrea Bargnani and Anthony Parker in Dallas, with a combination that could involve DeSagana Diop and Antoine Wright headed back to Toronto."

Is it true or going to happen? I'm not that familiar with the two players we would pick up and I'm still unsure why we would get rid of Diop yet again.

I would speculate that if this were to occur, it's the Mavericks freeing up some salary cap space to do some shopping in the near future.

Why oh why did we let Harris go?

Harris scored a career high 47 points against the Suns on Sunday night. He also had 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

Why oh why is running through my head right now contemplating on why we traded such a great player with a great future as a great point guard for Jason Kidd who has limited number of years left in him.

Perhaps Cuban should clear his SEC civil suit, buy the Cubs and sell the Mavericks. I'm beginning to think his and Little Donnie's decisions are not in the best interest of the Mavericks being actual contenders in the years to come.

So Stackhouse is still unhappy. I don't think he's going to take any deal or proposition the Mavericks assign to him. He'll want a trade no matter, that's the rumors.

So who should we try and get for this aging soon to be bench warmer? Should we throw in another player to help spice up the deal, someone like George? Unless the team is a contender, George will probably deny any trade though, but the way the Mavericks are playing, he might just say his good bye's as well.

Personally I won't mind seeing Stackhouse go and a few other players like George go along with him.

What does everyone else think?

According to some articles on ESPN, Ft. Worth Star-Telegram and the Dallas Morning News, Stackhouse claims he has many minutes left in his career and he's not getting enough playing time in Dallas.

Honestly I don't mind seeing Stackhouse go. Maybe you're not getting the minutes and play time when you don't produce anything for the team during such minutes.

Perhaps this is the time to not trade for anyone but for a draft pick, either a late first round pick or early second round pick is all Stackhouse is worth right now.

We have Wright and Green readily available to take his spot, with Green proving he is worthy to play that role and energy off the bench.

Mark Cuban claims the trade for Kidd that dealt Harris to the Nets has been a win-win situation.

I actually have to say no on this one Mark. It's not a win-win trade. Devin Harris is only destined to get better, he's young, he has years and many years left in him. Kidd will be gone and out of the picture soon. Where does that leave the Mavericks? In search of another PG because I'll be surprised if Jose Barea fills that role.

Unless the plan all along is to try and lure Harris back, which I think every Maverick fan would like to see and welcome.

Cuban was quoted saying from the Star-Telegram, "It is what it is. Jason Kidd has been our best player by far. There’s no question about. It’s a win-win. J-Kidd has just been phenomenal, so it’s been a win-win trade."
