One more thought on this...
I hope this is embarrassing to Cuban. People are talking about how he's not likely to use the TPE and how he may not be willing to pay the LT to keep both Brunson and DFS.
Cuban used to be the guy who money whipped other teams in deals. Now that is clearly Balmer paying an extra $30mm in LT in a year they are not even pretending they can contend. I don't really expect Cuban to pay tax this season, but I do expect he should be willing to spend the TPE and take on $5mm in a trade to add or upgrade the asset base. That extra $16mm or so would keep him under the tax.
Mark, if you can't do that and keep up with the big boys, maybe it is time to get off the pot.
