Don't have time to look for Cuban's quotes, but my opinion on the matter is that it removes officiating from NBA politics and gives it to a company/entity tasked with one responsibility: to produce competent and impartial officiating. The NBA can register their overall approval or disapproval with the officiating product in their relationship with the contractor, and even change officiating company if things aren't working out, but it removes the confusing team owner / league front office / officiating relationship triangle.
