Deron can pick up a phone and call Cuban if he needs him. Cuban couldn't call him and give him up to the minute updates like Billy King did (tampering). Prokhorov didn't meet with Deron either during the meetings.
Deron knows what he has in Brooklyn, a 42-40 8th seed that will get bounced by Miami EVERY year, but an extra $20 million (not really when you look at the different taxes) and the shiny lights of NYC. Yeah, I'm sure Cuban not stroking his ego really sealed the deal (sarcasm). Deron is just talking now, that's it.
