It looks like a lot of BS in that source written by Romana Shelborne and Tim MacMahon who is a Dallas homer and will skew the story to make Cuban look like roses.
Cuban was desparate and they treated him like a prize and not a person. Why would it take "months" to convince him in the words of the story writer. Usually a player just knows.
cuban forced him and probably lied a bit about how committed he was. Jordan was never going to go to the Mavericks. No matter how many dinners you buy for him and how much they tried to trick him and pressure him into "saying whatever'.
Doc had to come in and set things right. He fits better with the Clippers.
Either way it was a poor basketball move and very unprofessional the way Cuban acted.
A great business man is never supposed to put all their eggs in one basket and also they're always supposed to have a plan B that is just as good as Plan A.
It's not legit until they sign. Also if you're trying to convince or impress a player for over a month and he hasn't really given a full commitment then it's probably not going to happen.
Took Durant about 10 minutes in a meeting with GS to sign.
