Cuban has sold the Mavs to Adelson-Dumont Family

[dirkfansince1998]

Going to ignore the talk to relocating to Vegas and Dallas becoming a resort town and who the Adelsons are for a second to say this:

The Mavericks just went from having an ownership group worth about 6 billion dollars to one that's worth about 40 billion.  We always talked about Cuban being cheap but sometimes we ignored that Cuban may have just been poor in terms of sports ownership.  There are no more financial excuses moving forward.

Considering that they are happy to leave Cuban in charge of the team I am not sure if this is about basketball for them. It's about profit and the priority probably isn't the on court product. This isn't Ballmer/young Cuban buying a team because they want a ring. More like the ultimate lobbying move to legalize gambling combined with a big investment that would guarantee them a de facto monopoly in one of the biggest markets in the US.
