How ironic that Cuban thought he was going to get one over on a team that was trying to have its cake and eat it too, by doing exactly the same.)

There is no other word besides "lowball" to describe Cuban's piss-poor negotiating tactics with Nash--unless, that is, you want to include words or phrases like "disloyal," "naive," and "out of your realm." If you want to sum it up as "insulting," you probably won't find much argument.

The truth, of course, is that is was far more down to idiocy than it was to insult.
There's also no denying that your favorite player is a loser who was more interested in partying with me uptown instead of giving it his all by working out in the off-season.
