Default Fluffy Q&A with Mark Cuban
Full article at DMN

Here's the part that caught my eye:

Quote:
When the Forbes magazine NBA team figures came out earlier this year, I was surprised to see the Mavericks actually lost money [$13.6 million] last year. Is that accurate?

Yeah. We've lost money most of the years.

Is that because of your willingness to take on larger payrolls?

I'd rather win than make more money. I've got money. I'd just rather win.

You say you have lost money most years?

Yeah, I think we've made money two years.

Do you remember which years? The Finals year, perhaps [2006]?

No, I don't remember which two. It was either the Finals year or the year after, and one of the earlier years.

You aren't concerned about that?

Of course I'm concerned about it. But like I said, I've been blessed. Depending on where the economy goes, we'll have to make adjustments. But I've got money. I don't have a championship.

I want to win. I want to win for myself, the city, the players, that's just my goal. Now, how we do it is the hard part. It's not always just about spending money, so we've got to try to figure it out.

So one of our own board members got to interview Cuban? Interesting.

I don't think I could make it through the day without UD's posts.

(Man that's a candidate for the cussing thread, if I ever saw one!)

Great stuff, thanks for posting.

Oh, and based on this, I'd say all the haters can suck it:

Quote:
It's the same thing I've always said: Unless the league does something so stupid – or at least stupid to me; maybe smart to them – that I can't deal with, then I don't see any reason why my kids and grandkids and their grandkids can't own it.

Mark Cuban is a top 3 owner in sports and he's also a good person. He might bitch, moan, cry and make us cringe occasionally but I wouldn't want anyone else running the team I love. Long live Cuban
