(Although I don't know if that is just the football department or the whole club.) For comparison: The Mavs volume 2021 was 231 million dollars, rougly one third of Bayern Munich's. (sources: google)
Edit: Bayern Munich's basketball department works with less money, of course. However due to being part of the whole club they don't have to rely on much money coming in via selling players or coaches I would guess.
From my googling, in 2019-20 FC Bayern Munich basketball club's entire budget was 19 million Eur. In 2021 it was 23 million Eur. Lets be generous and say they are operating on a 27 million Eur budget in 2023, the Mavs basketball team still dwarfs that.
Bayern Munich the football club is well renowned and of course has the funds. The basketball team appears to be a small sect of that and in comparison a footnote to the real money maker. This hypothetical is as if a Spanish team came to the Mavs and offered them 5 million for the Texas Legends head coach. Sure the Mavs don't need the money, but it'd be imprudent not to capitalize and fund the entire G-League team for a year off 1 transaction.
I said before, it's speculation. I'm assuming Cuban would actually try and spend some money to improve the team, which history says that is unlikely. And of course it's unheard of for a coach to up and leave a program after just being signed.
Again the real meat and potatoes to me from that rumor was that it was Luka who offered up Laso as a potential replacement, meaning he doesn't really care for Kidd all that much. THAT is what is giving me life. I hope I clarified my position well enough. Everything else was a fun thought experiment.
