Mark Cuban shared his thought process in purchasing the Dallas Mavericks back in 2000
During an interview with Warriors forward Draymond Green on his podcast show, Mark Cuban shared his mindset when he originally bought the Dallas Mavericks franchise.
"It was all about fun," Cuban said. "... The idea of going and getting up shots with Nash and Dirk and Finley ... I mean that was like a dream. ... Negotiating that deal, I didn't even negotiate, I was just like, 'Yes, whatever.' ... I walked in, changed some things up and just you know, it was a ride."
When he looked back on the moment, there was not much drama or complications involved. At the time, Cuban considered the whole situation to be "fun." The idea of heading inside the practice facility to knock down some shots with the likes of Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki was an exciting proposition for him.
Despite the carefree attitude that went into the decision, it worked out in his favor. He originally bought the franchise for $285 million and sold it for $3.5 billion to Miriam Adelson and Sivan and Patrick Dumont.
