[Moore] >Donโt fine the players for profanity, please. We donโt need another reason for them to hate doing media. Itโs how they talk, itโs how people talk. Let them be real.
>You canโt make talking to the media part of their job and then fine them for it. I mean, you can. They do. But you shouldnโt.
>The ideas of presenting wholesome images were a lot more salient before the kids youโre trying to protect here were on voice chat on online games.
>100 Percent True.
[Charania] Nets star Kevin Durant has been fined $15,000 for using profane language during a media interview and failing to comply with an NBA Security interview as part of the review process.
Source > > Poor play never put Porzingis on trade block > Amid the Mavericksโ two consecutive first-round exits, Porzingisโ injuries and his mixed play, the 7-foot-3 Latvian soon saw his names linked in trade rumors last year that suggested the Mavericks shopped him around. > > Cuban thoroughly denies such talks ever took place. > > โThatโs not true. Why would I do that at all?โ Mavs owner Mark Cuban told NBA.com. โTrades like that, you always end up further behind. When you trade a superstar, you never get the best end of it.โ > > Since then, Cuban sounds vindicated of the Mavsโ inaction, so much so that he described Porzingis as โplaying at an All-Star level.โ > > โThis is the unicorn and heโs doing more and more unicorn things,โ Cuban added.
> The Mavericks (9-7) enter Tuesdayโs game against the L.A. Clippers (10-7) (10:30 ET, NBA League Pass) with Porzingis averaging 20.3 points on 45.5% shooting and 8.3 rebounds. Though Dallas has lost three consecutive games while Doncic remains sidelined with an injured left knee and left ankle, the Mavericks have lauded Porzingis for helping them stay competitive in all three contests. > > โIโve always believed that KP hasnโt played his best basketball yet. Now youโre seeing why we didnโt trade him,โ Cuban said. โHeโs a great player. Heโs a good dude. All of my experiences with him have been positive. So why would we do that? But thatโs NBA Twitter and thatโs Mavs Twitter. Thatโs what they do. Theyโre probably trying to trade Luka right now.โ
> The Mavericks have no plans to deal Doncic, obviously. But Cuban spoke in hyperbolic terms to make a point. In todayโs NBA, it does not take long for a touted prospect to turn into damaged goods. Dallas had acquired Porzingis as the centerpiece of a multi-player trade from the New York Knicks two and a half years ago. Four months later, the Mavs and Porzingis agreed to a four-year, $158 million max extension. > > โItโs the NBA, and itโs a business at the end of the day,โ Porzingis said. โItโs not in your hands as players. I didnโt really put too much focus on that. I just kept playing. I tried to focus on doing the best job I can, whether Iโm here or somewhere else.โ
> How will Porzingisโ chemistry with Doncic develop?
> Nonetheless, Porzingis believes he still needs to improv

Last season many hosts were disgusted with how the Mavericks were being run. After Jason Kidd was hired they were annoyed at the hypocrisy and what they thought was a bad hire. I remember Jub saying he wasnโt going to let Mark Cuban just skate on the last 10 years. And yet again, the basketball season starts, he goes on the Musers and just laughs his way through the softball questions. The hardline of course would never say anything negative about Corbys buddy. But heโs so innovative, just look at HDNet and cyberdust! Itโs amazing how much they are willing to look the other way on everything that has happened with this team in the last 5 years on and off the court just to pretend heโs their friend.
> Cuban is working on a program that would offer Mavericks fans a $50 credit each month of the season toward DirecTV Strะตam to reduce the cost of the only strะตaming platform that offers Bally Sports Southwest, he told The Dallas Morning News. > > The Mavericksโ owner is still working on details, but he said the franchise would first offer season-ticket holders the opportunity and then expand sign-ups to the first 10,000 fans total. > > The teamโs broadcasting limitations arenโt unique to regional sports networks across the NBA, but theyโve drawn the ire of fans left without widespread access to Mavericks games since the 2019-20 season. > > DirecTV Stream โ which starts at $84.99 a month for packages that include regional sports networks โ is the only streaming platform that carries Bally Sports Southwest, the local provider of Mavericks, Stars and Rangers games. > > Since Sinclair bought the Fox Sports regional Networks in August 2019, YouTube TV, Hulu, Sling TV and FuboTV do not. > > Cubanโs plan would decrease the monthly cost to about $35, not including fees.
> With just under two weeks until the Dallas Mavericksโ season opener, owner Mark Cuban has made his stance known on COVID-19 vaccinations. And it doesnโt appear that he will be backing down any time soon. > > โIt is your choice. It is absolutely, positively up to you. But there are consequences that come with that,โ Cuban said during an appearance on 10 Questions with Kyle Brandt, a Spotify podcast. โIf you work for me, I require my employees to be vaccinated unless thereโs a doctorโs reason where they canโt be. I donโt want my kids to be at risk, so the consequences of you not being vaccinated is Iโm not going to shut the [expletive] up. Iโm going to be in your mother[expletive] ear driving you mother[expletive] crazy.โ > > Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said during training camp that his entire coaching staff is vaccinated and estimated players are in the โ90th-percentileโ of being vaccinated. > > Of the 20 Mavericks on the training camp roster, only guard Trey Burke has said publicly that he is unvaccinated. The NBA does not have a vaccination mandate for its players. > > โI feel like everybody has their own personal choice, and for me, Iโm just getting the proper knowledge and continuing to do more and more research to make a reasonable decision,โ Burke said.
