http://tinyurl.com/kxg4zmc rom all indications, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Rockets general manager Daryl Morey smoothed out an apparent misunderstanding that arose during the heat of both franchises pursuit of free agent Dwight Howard this summer. In November, Cuban revealed that when it became obvious that Howard was going to sign with Houston, Morey sent Cuban a text, asking if Dirk Nowitzki was available in a trade. At the time, Cuban viewed it as taunting. “It was like 'na-na-na-na-na.' I don’t know if there were two nas in there or three. But they were in there," Cuban said in November. "I said, are you serious?” But on Friday during the MIT Sports Analytics Conference in Boston, Morey told attendees the reason he contacted the Mavericks was out of momentary “ panic” that Howard would bypass the Rockets. Morey said his concerns arose after Golden State surprisingly signed free agent Andre Iguodala choosing to sign with Golden State. Before Friday’s game against Chicago, Cuban said he and Morey talked through the situation long ago. “I believe him,” Cuban said. “There’s no reason not to. . . It’s over. No big deal.” Cuban joked that he actually liked the story better when it appeared to be a case of taunting. But how does Cuban explain Morey thinking that Dallas would even consider trading Nowitzki? “I don’t know,” Cuban said. “I went to Indiana. I didn’t go to MIT (like Morey did), so maybe he thought that was the answer.” 去年開季以前 火箭GM送了一封簡訊給Cuban 問他說小牛願意交易Nowitzki嗎 當時Cuban覺得Dwight Howard已經確定會跟火箭簽約 Morey的行為是在嘲笑他 兩人因此有些嫌隙 到了去年11月 Cuban開始正視這件事 他心想火箭是認真的嗎? 根據Morey說法他很怕DH會不跟火箭簽約 在最近兩人再次聊到此話題 Cuban表示他相信Morey的說法 他們兩人間已經沒任何問題 不過Cuban說他比較喜歡"Morey是寫信來嘲諷的版本" 另外Cuban還說 "可是Morey怎麼會覺得小牛願意賣Dirk呢? 這我就不知道了 我大學讀Indiana大學 不像Morey去MIT 也許Morey覺得那是個正確答案吧" (寫信來問能不能trade Dirk) --
