Cuban Eyes New Approach to Free Agency
But Mavs owner Mark Cuban wanted to set the record straight last night amid speculation that his team will be gunning for the top free agents. Asked what separates him from Mikhail Prokhorov in the eyes of star free agents, Cuban said. …
“That’s not the way I work. You don’t play for an owner, you play for a team and that’s the way we kind of present it. But you know what, let me say this, there’s a lot of presumptions going on about what we’re going to do this summer, but you shouldn’t pay attention to anything you’ve read or heard because that’s not the way we approach things. We’re the last organization to get one thing in our mind and that’s the only thing we’re going to do. These guys here know I’m going be opportunistic, we’re going to try to create a championship team or continue to be a championship team and that’s evaluating everything in front of you and making the right decisions with the new CBA. The old rules aren’t the same as the new rules so putting together a championship team it could be a completely different approach. So it’s not about, or it may or may not be about which free agents, or free agent — it could be a whole different approach. So we’ll wait and see. And it’s the same discussion I have with anybody that we have a very specific way that we think it takes to put together a championship team and we’re going to continue to do it. But we’re not going to just throw out one way and say that’s the only way it goes, because that’s typically the wrong way.”
