Essentially nets 3 bil return on his original investment. Keeps 27% minority ownership of the team. New majority owners are going to build a new arena with casino/hotel complex. Wait another 10-15 years his 27% minority stake will probably be close to equivalent of said sale of team a week ago. Smart business 💯

[@cas6811]

Naaaah. The franchise was valued at $4.5B then recently $3.5B which was the base value for the team value they agreed on. Cuban was majority owner meaning at least 51% stake. If he has 27% now he sold at least 24%, providing him a sale of $840M. If he had $500M in debt he netted $740M NOBIDY said he's paid off any debt with it. Do the math.

He's not really in debt because, like most of the elites, he has stashed the majority of his wealth in offshore corporation tax havens.

[@indianapapi]

He made a more extensive play. Selling the majority of the Mavs to buy in on bringing casinos here will net him way more money than the Mavs can ever get him. The tourism potential is much more than the potential of Mavs. Cuban wins major on this deal. On top of that, a new Universal theme park is going up in the north suburb. Dallas continues to attract many Fortune 500 companies to move headquarters to the DFW area. Two airports and an expanding rail system, and the casino buyer already owns the land where the old Cowboys stadium used to be in Irving. This means that is where the casino will go once the bill is approved. They hope to turn Dallas into Vegas, but with more culture and things to do, it would be closer for those in the Midwest or the East to travel to. Vegas will always be Vegas, just like Atlantic City will always be there; this will be the Midwest version.
