It sounds like the beginning of a joke in need of a punchline. But in fact, it's the rich and famous gathering for a weekend in Las Vegas to benefit The Tiger Woods Foundation. This particular event was 'Poker Night,' a 10,000 buy-in tournament. But for Dallas Mavericks owner Cuban (and Paul, his primary target in free agency), the stakes are, of course, higher. The Dallas Mavericks aren't allowed to venture into recruiting Chris Paul or any other 2013 NBA free agents until midnight, July 1. But that doesn't mean the rich and famous can't rub elbows for a good cause. Tiger Woods and skier girlfriend Lindsey Vonn are the hosts this weekend at his annual "Tiger Jam.''

Two teams linked to have interest in Howard this off season are the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks. One is an aging club with an owner willing to “open the bank” in order to taste another championship, and the other is an intriguing young squad, carried by the young and versatile, James Harden. Both teams have reportedly expressed interest in the services of  the leagues former defensive player of the year, and reports would also indicate that Howard has interest in hearing them out. The 27-year old, former Magic superstar has acted as if he’s loyal to LA, but we all know that is garbage. Dwight Howard’s loyalty will always be in question, and believe me when I say that nobody inside the Lakers’ front office will rest easy until Howard’s ink drys on the dotted line.

Our job is to find it.” The Mavericks will pick in the lottery for the first time since 2004, when they selected Devin Harris with a pick acquired from the Washington Wizards. Carlisle is confident the Mavericks will add a player capable of stepping in right away. “Well, you want to get a guy with as much experience as possible,” Carlisle confessed. “One of the reasons that (Jae) Crowder was in our rotation most of the year last year and one of the reasons that Bernard James did a good job for us...

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, entrepreneur extraordinaire, appears to know that well. Cuban is looking to redesign his team’s jerseys for the 2015-2016 season, and he is turning to the masses for some help. Cuban put up a blog post saying the team will go with a new look if it gets “a unique and original design.” His method is to ask anyone and everyone to jump into the process of deciding on the new design and colors. “You know what an NBA uniform looks like,” he writes. “You know what the Mavs colors are for today and the past. We want some new ideas that stay true to our logo and at least close to our current color schemes. Show us what you got!” Next, however, Cuban warns that any designs posted on the site will be immediately owned by the Mavs, with which he included these punctuation- and grammar-challenged (and space ba...

Ultimately, of course, a fan getting to be involved in the NBA fashion world will be trying to come up with something "crowd-pleasing," as well. The Mavs owner announced Monday a "re-do" of the club's uniforms for the 2015-16 campaign. Dallas has been innovative in this area before. (Remember the greyish "Hefty-Bag" uniforms quickly discarded in 2003? And the P-Diddy influence after that in the all-green unis?)
