Billionaire Mark Cuban Says This Might Be Why Trump Has Refused to Release His Tax Returns

[txradioguy]

Cuban supported Trump before he was against him. Did you conveniently forget that he even let him use the AAC in Dallas to host one of his rallies? Feel free to speculate about which billionaire is worth more, but I'm going with Forbes' data that says Trump is worth more (not that I really care tbh). This is all about self-promtion for Mark Cuban, anyway.

The Mavericks have a championship ring because of Dirk Nowitzki, and should have competed for more than one, but they have Cuban to thank for that. He's actually become quite the laughing stock in the NBA because no one wants to play for Dallas, even though he always compensates his players well.

Are you really that stupid?  Cuban doesn't own the American Airlines Center...he doesn't have the ability to give anyone permission to use it.

The city of Dallas owns the arena and makes those decisions. 

Dirk and the Mavericks DID compete for more than one ring you dolt.

2006 they played the Heat in the Finals.

Even before Dirk the team was constantly in the playoffs with names like Tarpley...Aguirre...Blackman...Perkins and Harper.

Please stop trying to talk about Texas sports teams when you clearly know nothing about them. It will save you lots of embarrassing moments.

So is Trump, yet you don't hold it against him.

He might not be entertaining for you, but then again everyone doesn't find the same things entertaining. I think Trump is a total comedian, and I love his performances. So do many others. Let me know when Mark Cuban can sell out an arena just to hear him speak about politics. You wouldn't care about what Mark Cuban has to say at all if he weren't speaking about Donald Trump! Cuban is jealous of Trump's brand and image, and is just trying to get some publicity by talking about him. Trump has a charm, and a charisma that Cuban doesn't have.

I'm not going to argue with you when you bring out the childish insults. I'm sorry you don't agree with me or my posts, since you always respond in disagreement,but I don't care. I'm not going to stop posting, but I am going to stop responding to you.

Its obvious to me you're barely a casual fan, if that, because Cuban has come under fire even from Mavs fans.

All in all, it was one heck of a week for Mark Cuban. I thought he made some nice points about Donald and Hillary on "The Megyn File" on Fox News the other night, and he wasn't awful on Bill Simmons' new HBO show.
Oh, free agency? Don't bother to ask how things went in Cuban's other interest.
Misreading the league once again, Cuban and the Mavericks kept their wallets locked up tight while the rest of the NBA spilled money everywhere Friday. The Mavs' top target, Memphis point guard Mike Conley, signed the biggest deal of the day at $153 million for five years.

To stay in Memphis.
Then there was the Mavericks' Chandler Parsons who got the "max money" he had been seeking after opting out of the final year of his contract here. Parsons will get about $94 million over four years.
To go to Memphis.
All of a sudden, it's all about the Grizzlies. Who saw that coming?
It's fair to say Cuban and GM Donnie Nelson didn't see much of anything coming. Cuban said not long ago that some players were going to be disappointed because of teams holding money until 2017. Maybe that's the Mavericks' Plan B, if we can even call it that after so many things went wrong on the first day of free agency.
It began in the wee hours on Snapchat, of all places, where Hassan Whiteside -- the Mavericks'  targeted rim-protector -- announced he was staying with the Heat, roughly to the tune of $98 million over four years.
"Heatnation it is," said Whiteside.
Mavs Nation it isn't.

Nicolas Batum didn't even bother to keep a meeting he had set up with the Mavs Friday afternoon. Seen as a possible replacement for Chandler Parsons, Batum agreed to a five-year, $120 million deal to remain in Charlotte.
Then the dominos kept falling throughout the day. Before you could wonder if Dwight Howard might be a possibility after the failure to land Whiteside, the former Rockets center agreed to a three-year $70 million deal in Atlanta.
It's important to point out that not all of these teams landing free agents are winners. Some of these contracts will surely go bust. We get all excited about the big spenders in the NFL each spring, and how many times does that directly lead to a Super Bowl?
Still, the NBA is different. It's a star-driven league. You can either have a few stars and compete for titles or you can build with young players, hoping to watch them develop. The Mavericks don't do either of these things.
Cuban fires shots at big names and misses. It's a July ritual. And this year the Mavericks didn't even bother with any real pursuit of the biggest fish, knowing that Kevin Durant has better things to do than consider playing for an owner he referred to as "a idiot" two months ago in Oklahoma City.

Time after time, Cuban has failed to land premium talent to join Dirk Nowitzki in his twilight years which, lucky for Dallas, have extended far longer than we had any reason to expect. Nowitzki is headed into his 19th season, and will still be the best player on this team barring a shocking trade or signing in the coming weeks.
And with Friday going as poorly as it did, Mavs' fans started wondering if this would make Nowitzki reconsider his plans to spend his entire career in Dallas. It's almost certain that it won't, given how steadfast Nowitzki has been in saying this is his final destination as long as the Mavericks don't embrace a total rebuild.
We know that's not happening because this team's drafts through the years have been more disastrous than Friday's swing-and-misses in free agency. You can't rebuild without young players and before you can even mention that Rick Carlisle doesn't like to coach them, Cuban can't find them anyway.
So the start of free-agency was terrible for Dallas. How does the team regroup? An NBA management source texted me the following:
"If Mavs strike out on overpaying another free agent, they really need to explore utilizing their space to take in good players via trade. That secondary market will be an incredible value opportunity. If I was in Dallas' front office I'd be pushing like hell to find trades to take in contracts because every contract that predates today is a good contract.''
So you see? There is hope. If only Cuban and his brain trust can figure it out...

I've been a Mavs fan since 1980. I didn't have to Google anything about Cuban or the Mavs like you did.

You're just butt hurt because you tried to talk about something you knew nothing about and now you're trying to cover with lame links to articles from people like ESPN regular Cowlishaw who didn't even have very much nice to say about the Mavs even when they won the title.

You'd know that if you knew anything about Texas sports or sports in the United States period.

Stick to the European stuff you're more familiar with.

Hey works for me. I have no problem at all making you look foolish when necessary.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if the iRS announced that their (so called) audit is over, and Mr. TRump can proceed to provide his returns.

The IRS says there is nothing stopping him from releasing them
