If you add all that up and still lose a bunch of money...then you can't make money in the NBA by having a good building and a good team.

And yet, Forbes has their revenue as 9th in the NBA last year, and WELL below the other teams that have consistently been in the luxury tax.
There are a lot of factors that go into revenue that we don't have any insight into. The tv deal is one of them. Also, the Mavs have lower ticket prices than most of the NBA.
