Mr. Cuban, please exploit NIL and bring Indiana Hoosier basketball back to greatness as well.

I wonder if he’s had some awful diagnosis? liquidate everything, free up all your time and be a husband, dad and mavericks gm/president full time. it’s what it would do if I was him in that situation

[–] Randomuser1520@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Then why’d he want to retain a management position? I’d imagine if he got a terminal diagnosis it’d be the opposite, retain the team (which is a stable asset) and pass management onto someone else. I’m betting he wants to run for office.

Highly doubt this. He sounds like someone who wants to spend time with family.

[–] megatrope@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

he didn’t sell the Mavericks completely. He just sold majority stake, so maybe 51%. He’s going to continue running the operations.

So it just sounds to me like the equivalent of a private company going public on the stock market to get massive funding based on a much higher valuation (Mavs worth more than 10x than when Cuban bought it).

Maybe he will use the funds to build a new stadium for the Mavs and generate even more money.

Forbes valuation of the mavericks is roughly 4.5B, so the Adelson stake is probably slightly higher than 51%? Just my take on some quick google research.

Teams in any league don’t get put up often, at least it’s been tad bit more common the last 10yrs or so but I’ve never seen a team this far in the process without any news or talk on it. Crazy.

People think he is running for president. Most likely 2028…but hopefully this term.

[–] AngryQuadricorn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Is he alright? Someone should call and check in on him!

[–] deltalitprof@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

IF he gets in the presidential just to take votes away from Trump, it will be worthwhile. Tying up some of the Adelson funds so they don't spend as much on GOP candidates seems a nice bonus.

Doesn’t matter where you go on Reddit, trump derangement syndrome will find you and make sure you hear some.

[–] deltalitprof@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You misspelled "preference for democracy over fascism."

[–] WHERE_R_THE_TURTLES@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Is he running for president? Does he have cancer? Is he transitioning to a female?

You all need to chill out. It’s as if other people making decisions in their personal lives somehow affects you so much you have no idea whether or not to twiddle your thumbs or tweet your cock off

[–] CliveFlowen@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Cuban is the athletic version of Tarantino

[–] LFCBoi55@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Well the Mav’s are moving to Las Vegas

[–] pohovanatikvica@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

didn't see that coming

[–] jaqen_hgr@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's gonna break bad

[–] Open-Permission-9198@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Surprised people saying he zero shot at the Oval Office. I don’t see it that way - there are a ton of unserious people who have picked up steam in previous runs. His ego is too big for governor or mayor. No way he runs as a Republican either. He seems to spend a lot of time with the Clintons.

I’d expect him to try to avoid the mistake Bloomberg and Schultz made as a moderate Ds with name recognition who got in the race a bit too late. If he goes thru with it, it is a 2028 play not a 2024 one.

Gavin Newsome, Kentucky governor, Kamala Harris, Eric Adams ~ why would Cuban fear any of these potential ‘28 primary competitors?
