This is a microcosm of everything that's wrong with Cuban, imo.
I appreciate everything he did for this franchise (none of us would be here without him, if we're being honest), but he was either too distracted, too oblivious or too misinformed to execute the sale of his team correctly, even. He was completely in the driver's seat with all the control and somehow couldn't get the outcome he wanted. Since then he has doubled and tripled down on the idea that the NBA somehow didn't allow him to structure the contract in a way that reflected his agreement with the Adelsons, when less than a year later the Lakers changed hands under the EXACT circumstances Cuban was attempting to create.
Why on Earth would we want someone like this running the team? If he can't get a multi-billion dollar deal right, how did we ever expect him to squeeze an extra 2nd round pick out of a trade deadline deal with the Charlotte Hornets??!
And on top of everything else...he should probably just fill his time with his drug company or counting his money, but he just...won't...go...away.
