Big Fine for Cuban

That's a huge fine.  I guess it is ok for the team like Philly tanking so long as they do not talk about doing it.

Loose lips sink ownerships?

That's peanuts to someone with $4 billion.

Cuban is not very bright. He shouldn't have told that to anyone, especially players. I thought the unwritten rule was GM's could tank in terms of a roster dump to blow up a team, but not outright cheat.

Cuban was basically hinting at job security if the guys could toss in some clutch turnovers and free throw misses. That's corruption. I know he was just joking, but why take that risk for a hot take?

I don't remember M.L. and the Celtics getting in any punishment from tanking for Tim Duncan. It is a bad aspect to the game along with bad ref calls.

He should be more concerned about this

He is so cocky that I believe he thought he could say anything and get away with it. Well, he may have a bigger problem brewing around his team with the revelations of sexual harrassment charges. In this world today, this is like a ticking timebomb. Pleading ignorance is foolish, and if it is true, he is not taking care of his prized possession, The Mavs.

Are we looking at another Donald Sterling story, where he is forced to get out????

If there was a coverup no he goes.  I heard about the sexual harassment story but I did not read the details.

It is the same story that is happening all over. One person finally stands up for themselves and before you know it, there are more and more. He had a guy on his payroll who was accused twice of domestic abuse and sexual harassment. Cuban is saying he should have done something a lot sooner. The guy was finally fired

I see.  That is serious stuff.  I wonder what the heck is wrong with Cuban.  He should have acted sooner.
