Mavs: Cuban selling large stake in the Mavs?

[Thread]

One of the few who had stood up to Stern and Stern Jr. repeatedly.

Especially when Laker Stern tried pushing the Clitter Paul to the Flamers stench.

Yep, Cuban was our kryptonite upon arrival. It ain't been the same since. The .

We're talking about a purchase between the Adelsons and Mark Cuban and you think it's CUBAN who bought the votes?

Cuban wants to be involved in the gambling. Why else would he give up the Mavericks?

I wasn't disagreeing with you on that, I'm just saying it's weird to specifically implicate Cuban in "buying votes" when we're talking about the Adelsons who have given $100 millions to GOP reps, Trump, Abbott, etc. and are basically the gold standard for buying votes.

Put your in' soap box away, Karen. I have no idea who the Adelsons are. I'm from Dallas and the story is about Mark Cuban selling the majority stake in the Mavs. The Texas state legislature couldn't be more up for sale, and if your evil Trump supporters are funding it, Mark Cuban is clearly in bed with them. You try to draw a distinction as though it matters. Go cry in the ing political forum about it.

That escalated quickly.

The specific political ideology isn't the point, but I'm sorry if you feel attacked. You've admitted to not knowing who the Adelsons are. The next step is just to admit, if only to yourself, that you were talking out of your ass.

I knew the snowflakes would be all triggered by the Adelson's buying the team

Be glad that's all they're buying. I wish Soros would buy a Sports franchise instead of all the major city DA's in this country.

Cuban stopped caring after 2011 so this is long overdue, tbh.

Maybe Cuban thinks the next broadcast deal will be underwhelming and he's cashing out early? Especially if the NBA wants to stick with TV networks with the way cable TV is dying.

This is my theory. You have to wonder what's going to happen to player salaries in the future. Could be quite the sh!t show.

Literally not a single person here has expressed anything resembling being "triggered" by the Adelsons buying the team. You guys have a serious confirmation bias problem.

A few hinted. I went to RealGM Mavs when I read the news. A portion of deleted posts.

I'm seeing arguments for both sides - Cuban has lost faith vs Cuban already checked out and this is better down the road.

Pivoting around this same idea: he may want cash for another investment and figure this is the best thing he has to sell.

He's one of a handful of power players not projecting negative sentiment around the stonk theories (essentially that DTCC and others are involved in ongoing, widespread securities fraud that will be revealed once companies separate from their infrastructure). Maybe he wants to join Cohen, Pulte, Icahn, etc. in that play.

So how you feeling about your Adelsons today?

Is this what you were wishing for?

[baseline bum]

FIFY. Lakers have some really good "tradeable" contracts to unload for Killa.

Mavs
Are
Great
Aagain!

LOL instead you get Luka. I ing hate you, the only solace I get from this is at least you'll have to watch your Lakers from Guantanamo.

lol yeah he would never have let luka go

but doesnt change how horribly he mismanaged lukas time here. until this trade, nico has done a great job of turning cubans mess into a really good team. and honestly, while its hard to expect the health to be good, this team if healthy, could be pretty legit. their defense should be amazing.

I can't understand mortgaging your future to bet on a lesser player who is injured more than Doncic. All those picks and pick swaps you owe 2027-2030 are no big deal if you have Doncic leading you to a top 10 record, but now you're talking some ridiculously valuable assets since Davis isn't going to be All-NBA in 3-4 years. Though it could make the Spurs 2030 pick look a lot more enticing to Sacramento now.

meh, this seems obviously rigged and Harrison is just the fall guy or the Jewish owners dont give a sh!t about basketball and want that future $350 million tab to just go away. No point in even wasting time trying to dissect how dumb it is when it's just distant ivory tower billionaires treating a basketball team they don't give a about like their crypto portfolio. Just a bad day for basketball/sports overall IMO.

Que Pasa mi amigo?

[Ice009]

Has Cuban said anything about the trade yet?

[Bill_Brasky]

Impossible to see this as anything other than collusion and intentional tanking of the franchise imo. You get in bed with s you get ed.
