see im still not able to verify your #'s as you wont provide me with a source ... but i will go along with your math

based on your figures and math ... Dolan is paying over $20 million in luxury taxes .... for one of the worst teams in the league .... and that makes him smarter then Cuban ?

Reread my first post.

67 or 37 or 105 or federal tax and luxury tax or watever. bottom line is that it only matters to us. the non b/millionaires. lets not forgethe is filthy rich. if you doubt him, just go to wikipedia or somewhere and read his bio and you will see how quickly and EASILY this guy makes money. lots of it too. he may actually have a money tree

yes i realize you said Dolan is stupid ... but you also said Cuban is more stupid ..... i disagree

for $20 million more (give or take) Cuban has a much better team with much better attendance and much better merchendise sales

Dolan takes the stupidity prize imo

really? cuz it seems like he wastd millions on isiah thomas and stephon marbury. they got i think 7 shooting guards and 6 forewards. yea dolan takes the cake.

cuban has a better team in a beter conference for nearly the same amount of money.

and yea it takes money ot make money. but you gotta realize that cuban started from scratch. if he's come this far, i doubt he was dumb anough to put all his eggs in one basket.

Wow, very sizzling discussion here. Enjoyed both Simple Simon and PB's arguments. By the way, I agree more with S.S.

I love Mark Cuban, he does a great job with the Mavs, they should let him buy the Cubs, I watch his TV channel and his MMA production appears to be a success in the making.

So would I, but the good old boy network won't let him.

You judge the owner's smart by the product on the court. Nobody in sports is dumber than Jim Dolan. NOBODY!

Plus not one Knick was listed among the Top 10 selling jerseys at the NBA in New York. At least Cuban's guys bring in a little dough that way.
