Mark Cuban - Should we make this guy a DAC member of what?

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 — Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was fined $500,000 on Tuesday for his repeated criticism of referees, the largest fine for an individual in NBA history.

Just think what it would be like if we got him and Dave Aaron in the same room!

Yeah, just think, if he's willing to pay so much in fines (what's that, a little over a million total already right?), maybe he would prefer to use that money wisely and buy everyone here all the models that we like...

I don't know the exact words but basically it was about how bad the refereeing in the NBA has gotten and how some players get preferential treatment in this aspect, things that I happen to agree with him on. Have you guys seen what some players get away with nowadays? Man it is attrocious, at least call the ones which are obvious to the untrained eye from time to time.

He offered to buy the referee some herpa models.

Speaking of inconsistencies of officiating:

"Ed Rush might have been a great ref, but I wouldn't hire him to manage a Dairy Queen," Cuban said in a story in The Dallas Morning News.
