Here's a random hypo for you: You sign a contract to do repair work on some guy's house next Monday for $100. Shortly thereafter, ESPN calls and says they want you for a Sports Center anchor job (or whatever your dream job is) at 5x your current salary, but that you MUST be there on Monday for the interview.

What do you do? Do you tell ESPN you can't b/c you're "contractually obligated" for the house work? Of course not! You prioritize, tell the other dude you're cancelling, and either work with him or deal with whatever damages you may cause. Happens 100 times a day every day in every business.

This is what burns us up so much. MC prioritized and gave Shark Tank priority over the Mavs. Why, I have no idea. But he CHOSE to give them priority. Being "contractually obligated" doesn't put you under house arrest and keep you from doing something more important.

I was miffed that Cuban didn't meet with him, but your "contracts are no big deal" theme here is pretty hilarious. It's especially hilarious because you have absolutely no idea what the terms of his contract even are.

I also love "if it gets him sued...so be it." It's great to hear that you're giving somebody else the green light to get sued, in the unlikely event it happens. I'm sure Cuban will be very relieved to know that you'll be footing the bill.
