    Awesome. Best thing to happen was Parsons moving on. Ariza is that third wheel that plays both ways.

    I'll get flamed for this, but I'm a huge Mark Cuban fan.

    I would love him if he was our owner.

    But he's not our owner. And he's the Mavs owner especially. Duck Fallas.

    Mark Cuban is consistently wrong about nba rosters, which is why he should stay away from managing his own

    Class act move on his part.

    I think deep down, most people are Mark Cuban fans. He definitely makes the game more exciting. What other owners are willing to do/say what he does? Oh, he was also kind (and stupid) enough to take Parsons away from us. We owe him a thank you for that alone.

    I don't think anyone is surprised in the slightest by you being a fan of Cuban.

    yes

    and yes. IMO, not sincere at all, just covering his assclown remarks from earlier so he doesnt look like a bigger fool.

    I've never had a problem with Cuban, quite frankly I would love him as a team owner. I like people with straightforward non-PC personalities

    Even if it's not sincere, which I think it is, he still publicly and without a direct reason owned his mistake.

    Cuban has a lot good qualities, but he also has some fatal flaws, so for that reason, I'm out.

    Cuban admited that the main reason he went after Parsons was because he wanted to stick it to Morey. He gutted a Championship team to go after one player a couple years down the line. Could you imagine if Morey or Les pulled that bull**** in Houston? All you Cuban scrot swingers need to fall back...
