The confirmed rumor goes that Mark Cuban is in New York to sweet talk Jason Kidd at 12:01am – the earliest allowable point for free agency talk. Mark wants to get his two cents in before the Knicks come callin’.

Interesting. Should we care? Do we REALLY want Jason Kidd back on the team for $8-10 million? That’s another nice chunk of salary that could go towards a shooting guard or a real power forward.

This is going to be brief, mostly because the Mavs didn’t draft anyone that is a given at the NBA level. They sure like their projects with potential, though.

Rodrigue Beaubois = C
I’m giving the selection of Beaubois a C only because of where he was chosen and who was still left on the board. And this is what we’ll come back to in the future if this year’s picks don’t pan out. Dallas could have selected DeJuan Blair, Sam Young, or Chase Budinger.

These are the types of names Beaubois and GM Donnie Nelson will be compared to in the years to come. Nelson insists that Beaubois has stellar potential. Beaubois could really surprise us and put on a showtime clinic. I hope so.
