Listening to the Cuban interview with WFAA just brought up the same question I had when it happened. For simple math, this is a $5B company. And the majority owners just sold their most valuable asset for pennies on the dollar. On what planet would it make sense to be able to do that without even consulting an "investor" (all he is at this point) that owns 20% (more) of the company? He has over a BILLION dollars in the company and doesn't have one bit of say in anything. 
I only took b-law because I had to, but someone make that make sense. If I had that much money in anything and people were pissing it away I'd have problems. Makes you wonder...

Not sure if true but would explain part of that at least.

Shit, man. You best not piss off those medieval times dudes. They got body armor, horses, and a jousting lance. They’ll pike your ass.

Back in Dallas a good friend of mine in high school always said he was going to be a Hollywood stuntman. Had zero other ideas and no interest at all in going to a four year college. In school he was always doing pratfalls down stairs and whatnot. He was a bit of a goofball, but had a great attitude and when people laughed at him, he would laugh along. 
After high school he took a few classes at Richland college to make his mom happy  but went to work at Medieval Times as a squire- literally shoveling horse shit part time. 
In a couple of years, he worked his way up to knight, and about a year after that he got a job at Six Flags in the Batman stunt show. He did so well there that they sent him to an overseas park in the offseason, and after moving through that system for a while he goes out to California. Fast forward twenty five years to the present and he’s in his third decade as one of the top stuntmen in Hollywood.
He’s the only guy I know who became exactly who they always wanted to be. 
Medieval Times, man.

It’s great, right? Let me put it this way- I also knew a prominent member of the Pay Pal mafia growing up and I think the stuntman is more of a success story.

These fucking pieces of shit are actually doing "smart" pr finally. Not sure if y'all heard AD speak over the weekend, but it would make any idiot swoon.

Reset: I hope something bad happens to the people that own the Mavs.

Heard on the radio this morning that average restaurant revenues right around the AAC are down 20+% on Mavs game nights since the trade.  Not only did they rip the fans' hearts out, they're literally hurting people's livelihood.

Listened to a Chris manning podcast.  Per Rachel Nichols:

*AD came back too early but it was his choice.  He took this personal and wanted to make Nico look good

*Kyrie injury was predictable.  Oft injured player leading league in minutes at 32?

 

These were avoidable

 

2025: dead

2026: Kyrie is back after the ASB playing himself into shape

2027: Mavs make a run with 34 year old AD and 35 year old Kyrie (if you resign him)

 

yea Nico you pulled a fast one on Pelinka.  Outsmarted the room there

Well you forgot that one solitary first rounder they got back that I'm sure will be mid 20's ish...
