But for where we are and what we’re doing, that conceivably could have been a distraction. I understand why the request was made. He’s trying to reestablish himself. I think that has to be done in the [NBA].” Cuban ends the segment echoing Harper’s comments about Anthony potentially being a distraction to the team. “As far as distractions,” Cuban said, “you’ve got the best coaches in the universe coaching that team. How’s he going to be a distraction?”
