Cuban has sold the Mavs to Adelson-Dumont Family

After listening and reading, I think the land development theory is most supportable, but the lynchpin is to have a Mavericks team that is so successful it creates a draw to support the other development. DAL was not going to compete with LACs, LALs, GSWs, SAC just on Cuban's wallet, so (theoretically) this opens the door to bringing in higher dollar FAs.

They have the team core with Luka and Kyrie, both marquee names that will draw anywhere they play. So now focus on investing in bigger players to stack up against the DEN, MIL, and BOS and you have your perennial contender to use as a centerpiece for your multi-billion dollar development.

FWIW, I don't think moving the Mavs to LV is a concept right now. If the Adelsons just wanted a team for LV there are cheaper ways to go that would welcome the chance.

There will definitely be some value to having deeper pockets, but the new CBA definitely puts limits on it.  If you go too much over the cap it impacts things you can do, not just tax you have to pay.

Agree on that last point.
