Mark Cuban Dallas Mavericks sale

Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, is reportedly in negotiations to sell a significant portion of the NBA team to the family that operates the Las Vegas Sands casino. This information was disclosed by an informed source on Tuesday evening.

The proposed transaction is estimated to be around $3.5 billion and would require several weeks for NBA approval, shared the source with The Big Big News, requesting anonymity due to the non-public nature of the deal.

In this arrangement, Cuban would maintain authority over the basketball operations. The initial report of this potential sale was brought to light by NBA journalist Marc Stein.

Earlier on Tuesday, the family of Miriam Adelson, the widow of casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson, announced their divestment of $2 billion in shares with plans to acquire an unspecified professional sports team.

Nearly a year prior, Cuban expressed interest in a partnership with the Sands. He has advocated for the legalization of gambling in Texas, a proposal that did not advance in the state’s legislature earlier this year.

Cuban, 65, recently announced his departure from the hit TV show “Shark Tank” after its upcoming 16th season. He gained rapid prominence following his acquisition of the Mavericks in 2000. Under his ownership, the Mavericks, once one of the least successful teams in professional sports during the 1990s, transformed into a top-tier franchise, significantly aided by star player Dirk Nowitzki.

The Mavericks, crowned champions in 2011 with Nowitzki at the forefront, are valued at $4.5 billion by Forbes magazine.

Legalizing gambling in Texas has been a long fight, Cuban’s support could’ve made a diff, wonder if this sale affects that.
