Mark Cuban joined the DLLS Mavs Podcast this week to discuss all things Mavericks. That included some interesting comments about how Cuban feels after selling the team<\/a> and watching the new owners trade away Luka Don\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n

Cuban also briefly discussed how he and Wyc Grousebeck, who recently sold the Celtics, had both been pushed out of key positions<\/a> that they initially expected to keep within their respective organizations. The Mavericks minority owner pointed out that to be an NBA governor you need to own 15% of a franchise, which is why he owns 27% of the Mavs.<\/p>\n

So why isn’t he more involved? The NBA stepped in, according to Cuban. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a clause in there that gave me the right to be in every meeting, every trade discussion, everything and the NBA took that out,” Cuban told the hosts. <\/p>\n

Cuban previously made this claim while replying to a Facebook post months ago<\/a>, but according to DLLS’s Marc Stein, the NBA disputes the claim that they were the ones who wanted that taken out of the contract. Cuban offered to show Stein proof.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho the hell do you think took it out? I mean, I\u2019ve got the letter from my lawyer saying the NBA made us remove it,” he said. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Cuban and Mavericks fans, he signed the contract without any provisions that he’d have to be involved in things like, say, trading Luka Don\u010di\u0107. <\/p>\n
