Mark Cuban is accusing Dallas Mavericks Governor Patrick Dumont of treating the team's former majority owner out of business opportunities and a proposed move of the club out of downtown. Dallas Morning News reported today that Cuban alleged Dumont has engaged in adversarial business practices and a bid to move the team about 10 miles north of downtown to the former site of the Dallas Mall. Cuban sold majority stake in 2023 to the family of Miriam Adelson and Dumont, who is Adelson's son-in-law. Cuban said he had an agreement to continue running basketball operations, but Dumont gave former General Manager Nico Harrison full control of basketball's side. Cuban said in the filing he was unaware of Harrison's plan to trade superstar Luka Dacic to the Lakers in the February 25th straight until it was too late to object and call off the trade. Cuban owns 27 percent of the Mavericks, but the newspaper reported there is a clause in the purchase agreement that allows Adelson and Dumont family to buy another 20 percent of Cuban state. The filing by Cuban comes a little more than a month after the Dallas Mavericks signed an option agreement to purchase approximately 104 acres in North Dallas. Part of the plan is to build an arena that would be open in 2031
Joe, what are we to make of this? Seems to me like Mark Cuban is having a little bouser with Morris.
Yeah. Hey, look, they talk about moving the team. They already got rid of Luka. The people in Dallas, the people in Texas, they're going to be ticked off now.
I don't know how much more they're going to be able to take. Okay, Ocho, you know what I'm saying? Because Dallas is a big market, bro.
They have a committed fan base. You know what I mean? So, I don't know what they got going, but they shaking some things up.
