According to Stein: Another curveball in Mavs' offseason: Hearing that vet swingman Richard Jefferson, thought to be staying in Dallas,  now signing with Cavs

That is huge for our pick next year, he was really consistent for them last year.  It will also be harder to ease Parsons back now and will really compound their problems.

I really find this insignificant to the Mavs or Cavs. The guy is 35 and he averages 5.8 PPG. It's like being concerned with Gerald Wallace.

2.3 Win Shares a game last year!  That could literally be the 9th pick instead of the 10th.  Plus they are weak at SF until Parsons is healthy and he can absolutely be league average at the start of the season.

LOL, defecting.

Geographically speaking, this would make Dallas (being further West) the U.S., and Cleveland the U.S.S.R. in this analogy?

I hope you are right but I find it insignificant.

Much more a South-North sort of analogy, I'd think.

Are the Cavs a bank now? They seem to just be printing money

The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

All I know is that I can sense D.o.s. being very pleased when they will have to pay the luxury tax.

First Shawn Marion, now Richard Jefferson! How many old, washed-up, hardly productive wings who probably won't get much playing time can Lebron steal from Dallas?

I'm guessing this is Lebron's way of getting back at Dallas after 2011.

why is it a thing for a player to commit and then change their mind?

What are the chances of Jefferson getting a championship sitting beside Mike Miller on the bench in Cleveland or putting up under 6 pts per game in a Maverick uniform? I think that is pretty obvious plus Cuban told some players they don't have to keep their commitment after Jordan dumped them.

doesn't really move the meter either way for. The mavs just signed John Jenkins, who will take on Jefferson's role and is younger. I can't wait for the season to start so i can start tracking where our picks will end up.

Yeah, this season should be a lot of fun watching  Dallas, Minny and the Nets -- in addition to watching the C's youth develop. Also, Philly's 2nd rounder could be a nice piece.

I just think it's pretty unprofessional for players to verbally commit then back out of it
