Super rich typically don't like not making the decisions or being patient until Cuban decides he doesn't want to run basketball operations any longer. The people with the most money typically get their way. What happens with Nico? If Cuban is running just the basketball operations does he meddle more? What do the new owners do when they find out that Cuban never offered 13 million to Brunson the year before he is a FA. What do they do when Cuban works on his Howard Eisley trade spreadsheet (old Mavs reference). Do they grow frustrated that even though they are the majority owner that Cuban still gets most of the attention/visibility? How long before Cuban makes a stupid comment trying to be the smartest guy in the room that the new ownership thinks is a swipe at them?
Feels like Cuban made a wise decision of getting a few billion more liquid and a chance to turn 3 billion into 13 billion. On the other side, much greater chance in a year or two we hear that Cuban has been pushed out of his current role. Who knows though....I have no idea of the language, but it just feels like this is going to be likely in the future.
All this confusion though is caused by assuming that they did this because they wanted to get into the NBA business. This is all about getting into the Dallas real estate/future gaming business. This is about two different industries partnering up, not about one group trying to take over.
I could certainly see the son eventually taking over but there's still plenty of time for that to simply happen naturally seeing as Cuban is already 65. I mean by the time they get this hypothetical thing built he'll be well into his 70s so probably pretty easy for the Adelson kid to just be patient on that front if that's his end game.
