MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[SleepingHero]

Amusing if not hilarious.  I'm sure those young men thought Mark would find it funny, they even had their GSW joke prepared.   I'm reminded of a story an IT executive years ago about what happened when anyone came to certain Microsoft high level marketing and executive meetings to try offer their wares or to work with Microsoft in any respect. 

If they came in with an iPad or even an iPhone, the chances of them getting the deal was zero to none.   
He said MS would generally not even explain why the suitors were quickly dismissed. 
Of course the corporate relationships have broadened since those days and MS works hand in hand with Apple on several fronts but Mark Cuban's remark about "reading the room" is relevant advice usually kept in the back rooms.

I agree that Mark gave them sound advice. If you're trying to woo an investor, poking fun at them generally isn't a good way to do that.

But it's telling how sensitive Mark is regarding the Mavs. He's emotionally invested, and probably got personally offended someone "attacked" the results of his team, because it's also a reflection of Mark's choices and own failures. 

I can't imagine another owner getting that animated over a silly joke. STILL, Mark is correct in that you got to read the room.
