MAVS NEWS: Dudley Signs with Klutch| Unlikely Dud Goes to LAL

[KillerLeft]

Something about all this doesn’t make sense to me. Didn’t the majority sale go down at a pretty steep discount from what other NBA teams have been going for? I thought the reason for that was Cuban maintaining control over bball ops. Apparently not.

Yeah, it's all super weird and we'll probably never have super specific, accurate info about any of this. 

Still, if you buy the rumor someone mentioned the other day about how Harrison had planned to give DJJ more years/money but couldn't because Cuban went off half-cocked to sign Seth Curry without even telling anyone (not sure if I buy it, but I can't say it's impossible), that would mean that basically everything difficult about what the Mavs are having to do this summer is directly and overtly Cuban's fault. I could see that causing Dumont to rethink any sort of promises the Adelson's might've offered Cuban with a wink at the time of sale. 

That's another in a long line of huge "on the margin" mistakes, and frankly, just the idea that Curry was targeted feels very much like an old Donnie/Cuban style move, anyway.
