Sources: Mark Cuban is selling a majority stake of the Dallas Mavericks to Miriam Adelson and casino tycoon Adelson family for valuation in range of $3.5 billion. In one of most unique setups in NBA history, Cuban keeps shares in team and full control of basketball operations.

Isn’t Cuban part of the problem in Dallas? Sounds like a fresh start squandered.

Hmmm... is he projecting that valuations on franchises may be due for a dip?

Seems odd to sell while still being involved in the day-to-day basketball ops stuff.

Maybe he's readying a presidential run?

Kind of surprising he's selling when he's been trying to set up a new area across the highway from where the Mavs currently play.

While I disagree with him politically, he is the best owner in the NBA hands down. I used to be Mavs season ticket holder for about a decade.

So he sells the team & makes 3.5 billion & still gets to run the team? Is that what is happening here?

Sheldon Adelson is a big Trump supporter & gave him $100 Million in campaign donations. I love how money talks & BS walks when it comes to business. I am sure the Leftists are going to have a field day with this.

You really felt the need to stick politics right in the middle of a sports thread, huh?

I doubt he'd still want to be in charge of basketball ops if that were the case.

When he sells to the Adelson family you have talk about what is coming in the society & media we have out there in this country today.

I have nothing against Cuban personally as I just mentioned he is the best owner in the NBA & obviously gave him tons of money over the years. Do you deny the blowback he is about to get by selling to the Adelsons?

This seems like a play right before Luka asks to be traded.

I just got a text from a family member that this is a rumor he is hearing.

A big part of that is a casino if he can convince Texas lawmakers to legalize gambling.

It will be limited to a handful of destination resorts if it does get legalized. Cuban has been working for years to be one of the lucky few secure a casino license if it happens.

This move is a partnership preparing for that day, while also maintaining contr over the Mavericks as their value increases every year.
