While i admit Cuban is has a lot on his plate financially (SEC indictment, possible cubs purchase). I have to believe this billionaire could pay the $7.1 million owed to Don. I think this situation does make Cuban look a little petty.

And how long has Al Davis made Shaananananhana wait for his check?

Cuban is playing too much games. He needs to just let go of some petty change to save his butt. Pay the fines and don't wait for a criminal indictment. Not worth it.

Just pay the man and call it a day. There is no need to be petty over this.

A Pimp sighting? Nice. Good reference too.

It's funny- the more I read about Nelson- the more I don't like him

This is Cuban being "powerful". Power is ugly.

Gentlemen; welcome to the world of big money. Cuban knew from day 1 he would have to pay-- Nelson had a contract. However, by the time the appeals process is finished, Cuban will have earned enough money to pay Nelson, and it won't cost him a dime.

Cuban didn't become a billionaire by being a nice guy. When there is a judgment, a person has a specific amount of time within which to pay that judgment. A real business man keeps the $7mill in the bank, invests and earns interest on it, and pays the judgment on the last possibel day. Nothing wrong with that if he weren't a billionaire. It doesn make him look petty and I'm sure he's doing it out of spite.

I wouldn't say it won't cost him a dime but I agree with the rest of what you said. If you look at it from a personal standpoint it shows Cuban is a bad guy. If you look at it from a business standpoint then you see Cuban is a smart guy. Just think about it. If you had 7.5 mil and could put off a bill for 2 years (or more) and earn interest on that money for that time OR you could pay up front, which would be the smartest business move? I don't like Cuban for many reasons, mainly arrogance but when it comes to business he is top notch. He has been good for Dallas.

He is what everyone thought he was. Petty is the nicest word I can think of when I think of Cuban..Mean, childish, spiteful, vindictive, selfish, annoying...more of the nicer words for him. Go Nellie, get him again...

I wish Cuban would buy me a hotdog.

He was using Nelson's money to play the market and got caught by the SEC for insiders trading....

Hey 60yearold fan....how are you today? No USC insults? I am disapointed.....

Hope a lot of NBA players are watching this and consider it when signing Maverick offer sheets. Maybe you get paid ... maybe you don't. Good long term planning Cuban.

Cuban and Nellie deserve each other, even when far apart.

He takes care of his players though. He may be a jerk but he turned the Mavs from bottom dwellers to contenders and they are one of the highest valued teams in the NBA.
