08:16 AM ET 12.30 | Mark Cuban is nothing if not connected to the thoughts of his constituents. [Cuban] has heard the grumblings from fans, and even one of his former players. The claim goes that the reason he broke up the championship team is that he's already given up on this season while looking toward 2012-13. The owner said Thursday that is an unwise accusation, and that fans need to look no further than Lamar Odom's acquisition for proof that this season is very much his top priority. "That's absolutely ridiculous," Cuban said when asked if this season has taken a spot on his backburner. "If that were the case, why would I take on Lamar's salary? No possible way."

I don't think they are contenders, but they'll make the playoffs

Kind of where I sit on the subject...

This thread proves there is different thinking in Dallas. Before he won a championship, he would spare no expense. Now, all of a sudden he's clearing cap space.
