Mark Cuban is BUTTHURT about the Hornet's trade

[Axe Murderer]

It's going to get real ugly with Cubes if the Hornets eliminate the Mavs in the playoffs...

This.

Outside any of the teams with the top 4 seeds (OKC, SA, LA) I think New Orleans is the one team that has a shot to beat the Mavs in the 1st round

I think it was a pretty fair trade all things considered. Certainly not a blockbuster by any stretch of the imagination. Both teams filled a need and there is some equality there.
You have to question Cuban's motivation. The childish nature of his comments makes me think that he is really just frustrated that the deadline is passing without the Mavs being able to deal Butler's contract. He's not doing himself any favors here.

we might see a cuban revolution ing throughout the playoffs

I think he's got a point. It's one that a lot of critics made when the NBA took over the Hornets to keep them in New Orleans and it's only going to get worse with Paul's situation looming. You can't serve two masters. No move they make, no matter how honestly it might be in the interest of the Hornets, will be seen as legit in the eyes of fans as long as the league's got the reins there.

Effin' double post.

Why is Cuban worried about New Orleans? Doesn't he have bigger fish to fry right now... like focusing on a championship?

This is exactly the kind of thing the Mavericks don't need. An owner taking the attention away from the team's play as they're in the middle of a potential deep run in the playoffs.

It's unreal how Cuban doesn't seem to understand that his tirades help nothing and only serve to make a bunch of bluster.

Don't forget Cuban is also actively looking for a solution alternative to the BCS championship situation.

That's all well and good. Cuban has a point. Why does he have to make it so public? What the does it matter if 5,000,000 random NBA fans hear about this?

As much as I dislike Cubes, he's right on the mark with those comments.
