I would assume that, like most businessmen, they are looking for good value, however they perceive it. Sometimes that takes the form of a “loss leader” that achieves profitability in an adjacent space.

Sometimes it takes the form of a big capital gain, that dwarfs whatever operating losses a company sustains in the short or medium term.

So perhaps a better question is: “how do the new owners perceive value?”

If he is thinking like a businessman, then there is almost no chance he pays a massive repeater tax as it makes no business sense.  Cuban ran the team like a fan until he got his ring, and then he ran it like a businessman and the money dried up.
