Oh Mark Cuban, always doing something that keeps his name in the news. This time he’s taking another shot at Nets star Deron Williams. I’d love for D-Will to respond. Check out what Cuban said now…
Via ESPN:
Over the weekend, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was asked whether he intentionally sabotaged his team’s efforts to sign point guard Deron Williams, who eventually re-upped with the Nets, because he preferred to make a run at free agents available this summer.
“Did you see that episode of ‘Shark Tank’ I filmed that day. It was amazing,” Cuban replied on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM.
Williams ended up choosing the Nets over the Mavericks, in-part because Cuban never showed up to their free-agent meeting because he was filming “Shark Tank.”
Cuban said back in March he was glad the Mavericks didn’t add Williams because they would’ve lost all their cap flexibility.
“It’s not about signing a maxed-out player,” Cuban said. “It’s about building a championship team. If you just add $75 million to your payroll, you’re stuck, and I didn’t want to be stuck. That’s the position we didn’t want to be in.”
