When Mark Cuban sold his majority stake of the Dallas Mavericks in 2023, he did
so with the belief that he'd still have a say in business operations and control
over basketball decisions.
当Mark Cuban于2023年出售独行侠多数股权时,他相信自己仍能参与球队的商业营运,并继
续掌控篮球事务的决策权
Two-plus years later, the Mavericks have made drastic changes to both the busine
ss and the basketball team, most notably the controversial trade of Luka Don i
to the 洛杉矶湖人.
两年多后,独行侠无论在商业经营还是球队运作方面都出现重大变化,其中最具争议的就是
将Luka Doncic 交易至洛杉矶湖人
Cuban says that those decisions were made without his input and he feels shut ou
t of the operation. And he's taking his escalating dispute with majority owners
Patrick Dumont and Miriam Adelson to court.
Cuban表示,这些决策都没有征询他的意见,他感觉自己已被排除在球队运作之外,因此决
定将与大股东Patrick Dumont及Miriam Adelson日益升高的纠纷诉诸法院
Filing accuses Mavericks of 'adversarial business practices'
诉状指控独行侠采取“敌对商业行为”
Per the Dallas Morning News, Cuban filed a petition this week in Dallas County a
ccusing Dumont of engaging in "adversarial business practices."
根据《Dallas Morning News》报导,Cuban本周向达拉斯郡法院提出请愿,指控Dumont从事
“敌对商业行为”
At issue, among other things: Dumont's decision to hand basketball control from
Cuban to former general manager Nico Harrison and the prospect of moving the tea
m from the American Airlines Center in downtown Dallas to a site near the former
Valley View Mall in the city's northern suburbs.
争议内容包括:Dumont将篮球事务控制权从Cuban手中移交给前总经理Nico Harrison,以及
计画将球队主场从达拉斯市中心的美国航空中心迁往北郊旧Valley View Mall附近的新址。
Adelson and Dumont, her son-in-law, collectively own 69% of the team. Dumont ser
ves as the team's governor. Cuban retained a roughly 27% share of the Mavericks
in the sale. He believes that he should maintain a say in Mavericks business ope
rations, according to the filing.
Adelson与其女婿Dumont合计持有球队69%的股权,Dumont则担任球队董事代表,Cuban在出
售后仍保有约27%的股权,他认为自己仍应该对独行侠的商业营运拥有发言权
Do Cuban's claims have legal standing?
Cuban的主张是否具有法律依据?
Cuban boasted upon the sale that he would retain control over basketball operati
ons, while Adelson and Dumont, who made their fortune with the Las Vegas Sands r
esort and development group, would handle the team's real estate ventures.
Cuban当初出售球队时曾表示,自己将继续掌管篮球事务,而靠Las Vegas Sands度假村及地
产集团致富的Adelson与Dumont则负责球队的不动产开发
"It's a partnership, right? They're not basketball people. I'm not real estate p
eople. That's why I did it," Cuban said on Dec. 27, 2023, via Texas Metro News'
Dorothy Gentry. "I could've gotten more money signing it to somebody else. Obvio
usly, I'm really excited about everything, but this is a great partnership."
Cuban于2023年12月27日接受Texas Metro News记者Dorothy Gentry采访时表示:“这是一
种合作关系,不是吗?他们不是篮球专业人士,我也不是房地产专家,所以我才做出这个决
定,如果卖给别人,我本来可以拿到更多钱,当然我对这一切都很期待,我认为这是一个很
棒的合作关系。”
Cuban also acknowledged at the time that there was "no contractual language" gra
nting him control of basketball operations.
不过Cuban当时也承认,合约中“没有任何条文”赋予他篮球事务的控制权
"No, because you don't do that in a sales agreement," Cuban said. "You just don'
t. There's no contractual language, because that's not part of a sales agreement
, ever."
Cuban表示:“没有,因为出售合约本来就不会写这种内容,就是不会有,没有任何合约条
文,因为那从来都不是买卖合约的一部分”
Cuban: Mavs didn't consult him on Luka Don i deal
Cuban:独行侠交易Luka Doncic时没有征询我的意见
Per Cuban's court filing, according to the News, Cuban accuses Dumont of renegin
g on a handshake deal that included verbal and email agreements that he would re
tain control over basketball operations.
根据Cuban提交的诉状,他指控Dumont违反双方的君子协议,该协议包含口头及电子邮件约
定,内容是让他继续掌管篮球事务
From the filing:
诉状内容写道:
"Instead of honoring his handshake deal, Dumont effectively turned control of th
e team over to former General Manage Nico Harrison, telling Cuban: 'Why would I
give you control of a $4 billion asset?'"
“Dumont非但没有履行君子协议,反而实际上把球队控制权交给前总经理Nico Harrison,
并对Cuban说:‘我为什么要把一项价值40亿美元的资产交给你控制?’”
Harrison, who has since been fired, oversaw the 2025 trade of Don i that rema
ins one of the most stunning transactions in sports history. Per Cuban's court f
iling, he wasn't made aware of the trade until it was too late for him to voice
his objection.
已遭解雇的Harrison主导了2025年Doncic交易案,至今仍被认为是体坛史上最震撼的交易之
一,根据Cuban的诉状,他直到交易已经无法挽回时才得知消息,因此根本来不及提出反对
Petition: Cuban wasn't consulted on new arena plans
诉状指出:新球馆计画同样未征询Cuban意见
Per the filing, Cuban also states that he's been locked out of the arena plans f
or the Valley View site and that he wasn't made aware of them until an SEC filin
g made them public.
根据诉状,Cuban表示自己被排除在Valley View新球馆计画之外,直到美国证券交易委员会
(SEC)的公开文件发布后,才知道相关计画
The filing states that Cuban's businesses are "contractually entitled to partici
pate" in the Valley View deal that it describes as "a unique investment opportun
ity," according to the News.
诉状指出,Cuban旗下企业依合约“有权参与”Valley View开发案,而该案被形容为“独特
的投资机会”。
Per the News, Cuban's filing asks a judge to force majority Mavericks ownership
to disclose details about planned development, financing and corporate structure
of the planned Valley View site. The filing could be a precursor to litigation
seeking to complicate the arena plans, according to the report.
据《Dallas Morning News》报导,Cuban要求法官命令独行侠大股东公开Valley View开发
案的规划内容、融资安排及公司架构,报导认为,这份诉状可能只是后续正式诉讼、阻挠新
球馆计画的前奏
The petition is a legal escalation of complaints that Cuban has made over the co
urse of the last two years, including a March podcast appearance in which he sai
d he regrets selling to Adelson and Dumont.
这份请愿书代表Cuban过去两年来一连串不满正式升级为法律行动,其中包括他今年3月在Po
dcast节目中坦言,自己后悔把球队卖给Adelson与Dumont
"I don't regret selling," Cuban said on the Intersections podcast. "I regret who
I sold to. I made a lot of mistakes in the process, and I'll leave it at that."
Cuban在《Intersections》Podcast中表示:“我不后悔出售球队,我后悔的是卖给了谁,
整个过程中我犯了很多错,就说到这里吧。”
The Adelson and Dumont families declined to comment to the News when asked about
the filing. Per the Associated Press, Cuban also declined when asked for commen
t.
Adelson家族与Dumont家族对《Dallas Morning News》的询问拒绝发表评论;根据美联社报
导,Cuban本人也拒绝对此案置评
