Im sure Cuban will try, Id love to see them bring in another superstar. Its very tough to only have one, Lebrons finding that out....

Unfair Park update from today...

Quote:
This afternoon DART officials announced the projected long-term shortfall in sales tax revenue will result in the indefinite delay in the third section of the Orange Line, from Irving to Terminal A at DFW Airport, the second Downtown Dallas alignment and the Blue Line extension from Ledbetter Station to the UNT Dallas campus. The connection to Terminal A had been scheduled for December 2013, the second downtown alignment for 2014 and the UNT Dallas extension for 2018.

The current 37-mile light rail expansion, which includes the completion of the Green Line from Pleasant Grove to Carrollton and the new Lake Highlands Station in December; the Blue Line extension from Garland to Rowlett, and the first two sections of the Orange Line from Bachman Station in Northwest Dallas to Irving in 2012, are not affected by the projected shortfall. The proposed 20-year financial plan includes $4.7 billion in capital project funds for the rail expansion and other projects such as the planned purchase of new buses and other items required to maintain the agency's state of good repair.

That sucks for DART but they tried overexpanding their LRT system too fast. I didn't read anything about service cuts so hopefully that's the case.

This isn't just bad news for Dallas but the state in general. Anything that affects one city affects the state. Lol.

Anyways, another 7 days to go and then we'll see if the Dirk man wants to stay in The Big D or not. I hope he does, and I really hope he gets someone good to come in with him too...

How does it affect the state again? I'm not seeing it. It DOES affect the areas that were hoping on getting the light rail around Dallas. Not sure if we'll feel the effects of that in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, etc.

Whats the point? All Mavs know how to do is choke in the playoffs. Seriously, best team the Mavs have had in recent years, if not ever, and they lose in the first round vs a 7th seeded team. Mavs are good in the regular season, too bad they don't give out championship trophies for that , though.
