Mark Cuban = Schrewd Businessman

[Nasty_Boy]

This guy is a snake to other NBA Owners and the NBA. The Al Davis of Basketball.

First he cries to the Commissioner about how unfair Chris Paul to the Lakers would be.
Then he accepts Lamar Odom in a handout trade, which he got for a "trade exception".

Now we know where the Lakers are going with this, Trade Exception + Bynum = Dwight Howard & Hedo Turkoglu.

Which works both ways for Orlando because they gained a big cap room, force someone to take Hedo's big ugly salary, and get something for Dwight Howard, that actually fills his spot at Center. Does anybody actually thought New Jersey was going to take Hedo Turkoglu when New Jersey's trying to take in as little as possible to chase a 3rd player to play with Dwight Howard and Deron Williams? Which they had to find another suitor to take Turkoglu's contract but who were they going to give up for that and what team was willing to take that player and give a trade exception?

Dwight Howard = a Better Bynum
Hedo Turkoglu = a lesser Odom

The Conclusion = Lakers are in the same exact deal with the Chris Paul trade........except now 2 other Owners (Mark Cuban & Rich DeVos) won't press David Stern about an unfair trade.

You need to remember that this owners are smart business people and they know how to handle Stern or any other league official. They can put everythihg into dolalrs and cents and present that to the league. They are the people controlling ther sport. The comissioner is just a puppet.
