07:52 AM ET 01.16 | Heads up, NBA. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is in "Let's Make a Deal" mode. "We're letting everybody know that the "Bank of Cuban" is open," Cuban said Monday night, a couple of days after declaring that there was a "100 percent chance" the Mavs would aggressively pursue trade opportunities before the Feb. 21 deadline. "If it's the right deal, we don't mind taking back money. But we're not going to do a trade just to do a trade. It's got to be worthwhile." The Mavs have the ability to take back significantly more salary in trades because they are under the salary cap. Cuban has continually insisted that is a primary reason he opted for financial flexibility instead of re-signing several key contributors to the Mavs' 2010-11 title team.

I'm immune to it.

I'm placing my trust in Cuban and Nelson that they know what they are doing.

Don't just hope... stand behind your thoughts with action. Send Dirk for Amare to insure it happens!
