Cuban has sold the Mavs to Adelson-Dumont Family

This is all very confusing and it's difficulty to determine how this will affect the Mavericks approach to roster building.

I am concerned that it is a net negative as we now have ownership responsibility spread between Cuban and the Adelson family and thus less accountability.

I think we'll know more this coming summer though based upon their willingness to pay the luxury tax.  I don't expect we'll go near the 2nd apron but it will be very disturbing if they make decisions to stay under the luxury tax again.

The worst part in this is that not only does Cuban retain operational control but we can't even hope that he'll sell the team to lose thar control.  He now has sold the team but still controls it.  It's like a weird, very specific nightmare.

To be honest, it feels like the FO is finally making good decisions right now.  Not sure how excited I would be to pull the plug on that and get random new option.  

The FO was clearly ready to go into the tax if it made sense last offseason.  They made the offer to Thybulle that would have put them there (unless they had some plan to dump salary afterwords).  It seems like having a 40 billion pocket owning majority is a good thing regarding tax concerns.
