FWIW, botox has made it impossible for him to not have a straight face

indiana winning it all gave him the spark of life back

I mean if he sold it and pocketed billions then can buy it back for a fraction with someone else’s money then he’s probably not too upset.

As a fan of the Mavs he is absolutely pissed off, but financially I’m sure he’s stoked and doesn’t regret a thing.

When he sold, Dallas was on the road to the finals with one of the sport’s most internationally beloved stars. Vibes were high.

Now he might be buying again after that star is gone, and the fanbase you reply upon to generate revenue is now a good deal smaller (and the org’s reputation to said fanbase is in the shitter).

Bro is selling high buying low

Dude saw a new franchise star and is fiending to mess it up

I don’t regret my action. Unrelatedly, I am working hard to undo that action

Saw the money and forgot you also give up ownership lololol. It’s one or the other mark

Put a chair by the door until Dumont sells

Overheard in the Mavericks boardroom after the game: “He got me” Patrick said of Cuban’s potential purchase of the team. “That fucking Cuban boomed me.” Dumont added “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. He then said he wants to add Cuban to the list of investors he stock trades with this summer.

Is this the all time Pasta of this sub?

Got to be this or 

He boomed me (x4)

Like clockwork I see this quote every time Cuban is mentioned and it always makes me smile

the return of a HOF meme lol where’s TT, Shump, and that Nets pick??

He is an absolute idiot for selling it to that evil family in the first place, but pls go ahead & buy it back.

Succession ass plot…

The NBA team is a rounding error for the Adelsons. They won’t sell, especially since Dumont’s been embarrassed. Rich people are all the same, he thinks he will be vindicated and the Mavs will win another championship under his stewardship.

No…remember the big brains on Reddit.com told me the plan was to lose as much franchise value a possible which would force them to move to Vegas because ?¿?¿

At this point I could see a sell back with contingency for the Adelsons to get the Vegas expansion team. Cuban thought he could sell and continue to run basketball operations. He was dumb. This would be a positive PR move for the NBA and give the Adelsons the gambling/basketball combo they want.

NBA gets superstar in big Market with the Lakers Adelsons get NBA team with gambling legalized Mavs get Cuban back with Flagg as replacement superstar

Win, Win, Win. Also the NBA is rigged.

Dumont is locked in to become CEO of Sands Corp on March 1st and most Texas constituents oppose gambling (especially Dallasites after what they did to our Mavs). They are cooked.

They are used to buying off politicians on behalf of Isreal and shocked the same strategy won’t dismantle the bible people in Texas.

I’m hopeful that the NBA, sports media, and just the U.S. in general overplayed their hand with gambling and it’ll cause backlash. Maybe there are already rumblings to the effect and the Adelsons see the writing on the wall, but I’m probably just naively optimistic

Timeline of events would actually be insane

Sell team -> new owners green light the worst trade of all time effectively destroying the present and future -> luck into the #1 pick the very same season saving the franchise -> Buy team back

What a roller coaster of events for this team

A lot funnier than the timeline where the Mavs have Luka and Cooper Flagg.

We’re at the age where “BREAKING” means nothing

This is just Cuban paying some schlubs to make fake news for him. NBA media really sucks.

Jerry Jones the owner is goated. You should pray for the day lmao. Just don’t let him meddle in day to day activities and you’re golden

Man I’d take Jerry in a heartbeat over the Dumonts. At the least he would never try to move the franchise to another state.

I love Jerry. Interned for the team for four years. He took care of his people.

And is this a group interested in Cuban or a group AND Cuban are interested lol

The main reason they want it is to build a casino arena so if they see that there will still be legal impediments for the foreseeable future they might be talked into a deal

Think they might be eyeing the Vegas team

Please bro at least be on theme, his future money laundering front will probably be a nonprofit to curb workplace misconduct

he may be able to in a few years if owners and nico are gone

He could probably get LeBron though.

While I wish the Luka trade had tanked the franchise value, i doubt it materially affected it. The Adelsons could still sell the team for significantly more than they purchased it for just a couple of years ago. It’s an NBA team in the fourth largest market in the country. There’s a limited quantity of pro sports teams available, and there are more billionaires than ever.

They haven’t expanded by adding Vegas and Seattle because they’re waiting on lebron to retire so he can start up that Vegas team

And in his own words he choose to sell for less money so he could specifically sell to the Adelsons. All because he thought they could legalize gambling and build a arena/casino resort so his minority stake would be worth about the same he sold his majority stake for.

He sold out the Mavs to one of the most evil families in the world so he could double dip and have more billions than he already has lmfao.

Plenty of us have been there already, he tanked his legacy selling to some of the worst possible non-Saudi buyers who immediately green lit the worst trade in the history of sports. There is, even with Flagg looking like a potential generational talent, no clear path back to where the team was with Luka and they don’t own their own pick again until the 2030s. Not to mention he hired the guy who did the deed and the more we learn about his tenure with the Mavs the more unsavory the image of the FO becomes. Glad for Dallas area fans if they think this will be better than the Adelsons, it probably would be, but I still say fuck Cuban and this franchise is dead to me

Under Cuban, the Mavs were basically a rape factory that also played some basketball.

Nico lowkey was cooking until his ego took over truly

Nico had guardrails atleast

Did he even try?
