I mean yea, there's not an owner in the league that would turn it down. Brings in more money and essentially gives fans more hope for their team.Saint Pablo said:

Interesting article. Agree with the point, but makes Cuban look petty since he was a part of the governor's board that voted unanimously for this.
Luka has a point but while the Mavs could fall into this tournament this year, they are likely to benefit from it as well. Like, imagine if Luka had twisted his ankle and missed 4-6 weeks. In prior years, that would completely eliminate the Mavs from the playoffs. But with this play in, it gives us a chance to bring him back healthy and qualify for the play in.
So while it sucks right now, it may not suck later.
