This thing is really making waves around law firms in Texas (Dallas especially). Even the non-Mavs/non-Mark Cuban fans think it's hilariously awesome.

I also love the part at the end; "(although they are quite content at the moment.)"

[Romuless]

Lol, Ross was crap as owner, Cuban has had us in the playoffs nonstop and actually competitive, and now with a championship, it's the ultimate gargle those round ones Rossie.

[robo98564]

Haha thats good stuff. In fairness to Perot though, didn't we get Dirk, Finley and Nash while he was owner?

Either way, this document is GOLD!

Typically, these documents provide acronyms for each party in the paragraph before article I. In this case, this paragraph declared that Radical Mavericks Management, LLC would thereafter be referenced by the acronym "RMM", and Dallas Mavericks would be referenced by the acronym "World Champion Dallas Mavericks".

Apparently, they can do that.

Not sure if you guys heard the interview with Cuban's lawyer yesterday on Ben & Skin yesterday. Pretty good stuff. He basically said the photo was proof that Cuban didn't purposely mismanage the team.

Judge denies suit against Mark Cuban

Mark Cuban, owner of the world champion Dallas Mavericks, can't currently watch his team on the court, so he'll have to settle for his recent victory in the court system against disgruntled minority team owner Ross Perot Jr.

A judge last week denied all claims made by Perot, putting an end to this latest round of lawsuits by Perot charging Cuban with mismanaging the Mavericks' franchise.

Cuban, reached via email, said he had no comment on the conclusion of this case or if he believes this will put an end to Perot's continual challenges to his stewardship.

"We are extremely pleased with the ruling, which puts the Mavericks in the win column before the season has even started," Cuban's attorney Thomas Melsheimer said Thursday.

In June, Perot sued Cuban for mismanaging the team. Perot claimed in the lawsuit that Cuban made "a litany of questionable business, financial and personal decisions" regarding the Mavs and that Cuban was "careless and reckless" in his decision-making, causing Perot's Hillwood Investment Properties III, Ltd., to "lose substantial investment value."

Perot also sought to have the team taken away from Cuban and handed over to a court-appointed receiver.

Melsheimer responded with a court brief to dismiss the suit. It included a piece of evidence that Cuban's legal team believed accurately conveyed Cuban's management: a photograph of the Mavs celebrating their 2010-11 NBA championship, hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

It included a brief caption: "On June 12, 2011, the World Champion Dallas Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat to claim the franchise's first NBA championship. A true and correct photo of one of the many victory celebrations is incorporated herein.

"Under Hillwood's ownership, the team was deemed the 'worst franchise' in all of professional sports. Under Cuban's stewardship the Mavericks have become one of the league's most successful teams and are now NBA champions. Accordingly, there can be no genuine question that Hillwood's claims of mismanagement lack merit and Hillwood's claims should be disposed of on summary judgment."

Last Friday, Judge Craig Smith agreed and put an end to the suit with a final summary judgment that read: "It is ordered that Plaintiff Hillwood Investment Properties III, Ltd. take nothing against Defendants Radical Mavericks Management, LLC and Dallas Basketball Limited d/b/a/ Dallas Mavericks, that all claims asserted by Plaintiff are denied, and that all costs of court be taxed against Plaintiff."

For more than two years, Perot has made various claims accusing Cuban of mismanaging the team. In July 2009, Perot, who still owns a five percent stake in the team, sued Cuban over money made from the American Airlines Center, alleging millions of dollars that should have gone to partners was wrongfully diverted to the Mavericks to cover substantial shortfalls.

In May 2010, Perot raised the stakes with another lawsuit that alleged the Mavs' debt exceeded $200 million and the franchise was "insolvent and/or in imminent danger of insolvency."

Cuban provided a snarky response to that lawsuit, saying that Perot was "trying to find nickels in the sofa cushion."

Pretty much expected. Junk lawsuit. If they appeal, they'll lose again while racking up tens of thousands more in legal fees in the process.

Go for it, Ross.

Talk about sour grapes...

Mark Cuban's problems with Ross Perot Jr. continue

DALLAS -- A judge denied Ross Perot Jr.’s lawsuit claiming that Mark Cuban mismanaged the Mavericks, but the man who sold Cuban the team continues to be a nuisance for the current owner.

Perot couldn’t beat Cuban in the courtroom, with Cuban’s lawyer running up the score a bit by filing a court brief that consisted primarily of a photograph of the Cuban holding the Larry O’Brien Trophy during the championship celebration on the AmericanAirlines Arena floor. Now, Perot is trying to take the fight to the parking lots.

Specifically, Perot is flexing his muscles with the parking lots he still partially controls around the American Airlines Center. Within the last week, those lots suddenly weren’t open for Mavs games until 5:30 p.m., an inconvenience to many people who work at the arena (including media).

“He’s just being himself. That’s just who he is,” Cuban said of Perot, rolling his eyes.

In Perot’s failed lawsuit, he accused Cuban of being “careless and reckless” in his decision-making with the Mavericks, causing Perot's Hillwood Investment Properties III, Ltd., to "lose substantial investment value." Cuban doesn’t deny that he’s made some mistakes during his dozen-year ownership tenure, and allowing Perot Jr. to keep a 5 percent share of the franchise stands out among them.

“Allowing Ross to remain with the Mavs continues to be one of the worst decisions that I’ve ever made, if not the worst,” Cuban said.
