Cuban has sold the Mavs to Adelson-Dumont Family

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.

I agree with this but the one thing I would add is that a good basketball product and larger profits are highly correlated in this situation.  I mean the whole Vegas playbook is all about getting the biggest names for their residencies so I'm going to be hopeful that money will be spent on the team as well.  It will be interesting to see how it plays out though.
