Mark Cuban has once again found a way to piss off the NBA. This time the league may go after him for tampering...
"Come July 1st, yeah, of course, anybody would be interested in LeBron James, and if he leaves via free agency, then it's going to be tough. If he does like I'm guessing, hoping he will, which is say, 'I'm not going to leave the Cavs high and dry,' if he decides to leave -- there's still a better chance he stays -- then he'll try to force a sign-and-trade, and that gives us a chance. ... What I do know about LeBron in the minimal time I've spent talking to him is he just wants to win. Money's not his issue. He needs to be someplace where he trusts the organization. And look, [owner] Dan Gilbert in Cleveland did everything he possibly could, that's just the way the game works. If there was a template that we all could follow, we'd all have championship rings."
The NBA doesn't allow people who work for teams or own teams to talk to about players on different teams who are under contract. If they do it's considered tampering and they can be fined by the league.
While I have no problem with anything he said I guess the league does have the right to go after him. Still, this just makes me like Cuban more. I have said it 1,000 times before, but he runs his team like a fan would, and it is just refreshing to see someone who truly cares about his team, rather than just the bottom line. Anyways, he'll probably get fined, but he won't care since he has more money the God.
