Cuban came close to selling the Mavs -- yeah, right

[From Stephen B. Snyde, for Friday tidbits...]

Preetom Bhattacharya of Hoopsworld.com had a One-on-One with Mark Cuban, in which Cuban reiterated his dismay with the NBA and how close he came to selling the team last summer...

"I hated dealing with the NBA, the league itself. I love the players, I love the organization, I love the fans, I love being part of the community - there's just so much that's so positive. I hated dealing with the minutia of the NBA. They specialize in administrivia a lot of times and that's not me. We just have a different view on the business side of things and from there, it's my choice."

Uh, dude. You're a billionaire. Money grows on trees in your backyard. For chrissakes, will you just hire someone to deal with the administrivia for you? What's that, like 8 bucks an hour?

As for the whole charade about selling the Mavs, there is no way to describe it other than visually (above).
