"Listen to Cuban explain further: “It hurt my feelings, period, because I thought that we had developed a relationship and I thought (Kidd) was committed to the organization. It sure seemed like he was. I mean, J-Kidd was active in going out there and talking to Deron Williams the whole time. I guess it was more shocking and surprising than anything else.”
There is some truth in your post here, but it is worth noting that Cuban also stated that Kidd had verbally agreed to return, and then later that afternoon changed his mind and agreed to sign with the Knicks without even talking to Cuban (Kidd tried to call him but Cuban was unavailable).

Breaking verbal agreements is not looked upon fondly in the NBA.
