Not to invalidate your whole point by any means, but I believe Cuban did bitch about it.
He made a blog entry at the time slamming employees who demand more money from their boss after they've agreed to a contract. He wrote that if you agree to the contract you are already agreeing to perform as good as you can and that subsequent performance should not be grounds for demanding a better contract.

Edit: While he didn't refer to Avery or even basketball, I thought it was clear why he wrote the entry based on the timing.
