Watch "The Big Podcast - “Shut the f**k up and sit your a** down till you’ve done something in this league.” -NBA Execs to Mark Cuban during his early years as Mavs owners 😳" on Streamable.
Sigh. League in the 2000s was not as financially secure as now. Some teams had to let go players for money. I don’t think fans realise that It’s not worth it for the owner to keep paying the luxury tax if the team is a second round exit. Save money. Build a better team and then pay the tax.
Cuban let prime Steve Nash go for nothing, seems like the execs were right
