The Rangers are the only saving grace for that area. The owner may not go over the tax threshold but he does spend when there is a plan in place.This is why I was always good with Cuban owning the team.
The guy wanted to win and was willing to spend to do so and he let basketball people make basketball decisions.
I didn't give a shit what political stance he took because it has nothing to do with running the sporting side of the organization.
And now look? He's gone and the guys who own the Mavs appear to another Jones family type ownership group that only want to use the franchise to make money.
Dallas sports has never been in a worse position than the one it's about to enter.

I will argue against this. Cuban was called by no less than Tim Macmahon "The most involved owner in sports... and yes, that includes Jerry Jones." Plenty of times over the years he made calls himself and finally fired Donny Nelson because they butted heads so often.This is why I was always good with Cuban owning the team.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is true. Gambling is a real sickness. I'm glad I've never really fucked around with it.
Sources are telling me he's always had a desire to be an assistant GM in LA.
Another thing I learned out of all this is that Nico Harrison was the Nike exec who infamously fumbled their pitch to Steph Curry back in the day.
How the fuck does someone like that keep getting important jobs then?Another thing I learned out of all this is that Nico Harrison was the Nike exec who infamously fumbled their pitch to Steph Curry back in the day.
They were mispronouncing Steph's name and had the wrong info and images of Kevin Durant leftover in their slide, presumably from a prior pitch.
I'd heard the story before but was unaware that Nico was the dude responsible for Curry choosing Under Armour over Nike.
Probably true.
You know the answer.How the fuck does someone like that keep getting important jobs then?
There is a big difference between an involved owner and a meddling one.I will argue against this.

pretend he was a GM
