823 1 May 31, 2006^9:16pm Jaydawg^7 Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA, expresses interest in buying the Cubs or his hometown Pirates www.post-gazette.com/pg/06151/694427-63.stm News [Other] 2086 3603 0 Say what you want about the guy, but he's always serious about producing a winning franchise. Like the Clippers, the Mavs were once the laughingstock of the NBA. Thanks to Mark Cuban's hands-on type of perserverence and hard work, the Mavs now have a good chance of making the NBA finals. The Cubs or Pirates would be very lucky to have him as an owner. But, I'm not so sure if Bud Selig would want Cuban in the league as an owner because of his flambuoyancy and controversial acts.
