Insane that a wealthy adult is dumb enough to try to get through airport security with weed.

In other news, the Mavs have now sued the Stars for being in breach of contract by not having their HQ in Dallas. Basically a pissing match where the Mavs have attempted to take full operating control of the arena and are withholding operating profit disbursements in order to force the Stars into paying for upgrades. I've heard all sorts of talk about the Adelson/Dumont crew being a ******** partner for the Stars to work with since day 1. This fits.

Ya it's 100% a PR stunt+colluding with the city to saddle the AAC on the Stars so the Adelsons can have their shiny new stadium.

I hate this. Can't believe Cuban sold the team to these demons.

And he didn't even get market value. Sold the fans and the city out with hopes of getting a cut of the gambling buck at some point. Hope he's on his deathbed before a check from that ever clears. I was 100% pro gambling in Texas, but these carpetbaggers have turned me 100% the other way.

Interesting strategy at play here by new ownership.

Trade hometown favorite Luka - piss off all the Mavs fans
Play hardball with the Stars over minor agreement about HQ location that has been in "breach" for 20 years - piss off all the Stars fans.

I'd say maybe they can **** with Jerry Jones next, but that would just make all the Cowboys fans happy lol.

Hard to have more disdain for Cuban throughout all of this. Hope they squeeze him out (which I'm sure they will) and he can sit at home and try to do a podcast to remain relevant.

Also - screw the City of Dallas - they are bending over backwards for the big shiny casino / Mavs development, while sacrificing the Stars. Maybe we can get Laura Miller in here to do some negotiating and just kick out all the sports teams.

Yeah, Cuban better have his lawyers going back over the fine print in his deal because if there is an angle for Adelson/Dumont to squeeze him, they'll do it.

Take the Mavs to Vegas.

As has been rehashed, the Adelson/Dumont crew divested from Vegas and no longer holds property there. They are interested in establishing casinos in undeveloped/under-developed gambling areas - like Dallas, not taking ops to Vegas. If Texas squashes their hopes of a casino, they'll just sell the team and make a tidy profit since Cuban stupidly sold for cheap.

Some details of the story, for those interested. It includes the 252 page lawsuit if anyone is interested in reading it. It could probably be done during free throw time at an NBA game given the increase in free throws this year.

ETA: I don't know if there is more or less free throws in the past. It just seems like it.

Pacers tonight with no Mathurin, Nembhard, McConnell, Furphy or Toppin, to go with Haliburton out for the year.

I don't even want to think of the vibes if we lose this one...

I was thinking former future Mav Jarace Walker, but that works too.

Since this is going to be a long ass season, can someone explain why we retired Brad Davis' #15 jersey?
