[外電] Mavs' performance has Cuban antsy
http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=4884849
DALLAS -- Owner Mark Cuban acknowledged that the Dallas Mavericks' recent
losing ways has made his trigger finger a little itchy.
Last week, Cuban said he didn't see the Mavericks making a blockbuster deal,
although the team would explore its options before the Feb. 18 trade deadline.
Cuban is much more eager to make a trade after the Mavs' first three-game
losing streak of the season.
"We suck right now," Cuban said before Wednesday night's home game against
the Golden State Warriors. "Where before we might not have listened, now at
least we'll listen. Nothing dramatic has changed except our performance."
The Mavericks entered Wednesday night with a 30-18 record, good for third
place in the Western Conference. However, Dallas is 8-9 since New Year's Eve.
If the Mavs make a significant trade, struggling swingman Josh Howard is
likely to be the centerpiece of the outgoing package. Howard is in the middle
of the worst season of his career, but he's an attractive trade chip because
of his contract, which includes a team option for $11.8 million next season.
"It's not like [other teams] think I'm sorry in this league," Howard told
NBA.com. "I know that for a fact. If it's meant for me to get traded, it's
going to happen. That's not even my concern. My concern is winning."
Howard also expressed frustration with his role and the uncertainty of the
franchise's plans for his future. Cuban said he understood that frustration
and hoped Howard could work his way out of a slump, but the owner certainly
offered no assurances that Howard would remain with the Mavericks after the
trade deadline.
"It's just the nature of the business," Cuban said. "People get anxious and
get nervous, particularly when things aren't going well and particularly with
my history. It's not like Josh hasn't been here five years and knows we've
made a lot of trades."
小牛三連敗後
Cuban改口說
我們可能會有交易
Cuban說
我們現在打的很爛
小牛現在30勝18敗
西區第3
但是小牛一月戰績是9勝8敗
小牛可能交易Howard
Howard本人表示
如果會被交易
那時間到了自然會發生
不過他對於自己現在的定位
相當困惑
Cuban希望Howard趕快回復身手
但是沒有保證他不會被交易
