Mavs trade for Christian Wood

[DevinHarriswillstart]

I mean, the Mavs wanted to keep Brunson, so I'm not sure the Cuban won't pay the tax stuff holds much water. I'm sure he doesn't want to pay it long term, like any owner, but I don't fully buy him not wanting to pay it.

I feel Cuban acts more on a value of a player versus a bottom line money thing. You can always dump salary if you need to especially now that KP's contract is off the books.

It might be true but the data doesn't support that notion over the past decade. Cuban is dead last in total player outlay and it's not even close.

So this sure looks like a bottom line money thing that cheap son of a bitch
