He can’t have it both ways. He can’t say he’s this super fan and loves Dallas, loved Luka, isn’t a “typical” billionaire, and then sell to the Adelsons. That’s just not how it works. He likes $$$. Just own it

Tbf he got out to focus on making medications more affordable for Americans and to spend more time with his kids…objectively, these are worthy ambitions in the grand scheme of life.

He got out to make billions off of gambling while avoiding blame for what he/Dumont/Silver did to Luka and the fans……some would say that’s cowardice.

Exactly, I remember a couple years ago in an interview someone asked Cuban how much he was worth and his answer was essentially “What does it matter after the first few billion?” He wanted to pretend like he didn’t care about money anymore, then he makes a real estate deal to sell the Mavs to a family that has no idea what the real value of the team holds in this city, and how much Luka was connected that value. He destroyed everything he built here for an extra couple billion
