Whats the deal with Devon George? Are you kidding... Not that you signed him but is that your only signing? The Mavs got killed and you are sitting there. This team will not go anywhere as is. Either blow this thing up and start over or make something happen. BTW congrats on your success. But my complaint is simply that your not a "tech entrepreneur". You got lucky with Broadcast and now you throw your money and are hoping to land on a hot startup. You are a good salesman. You did a good job with the mavs until this season. Another thing....I think you are the only billionarie i can think of that has made tons of money of a product that no one uses after only a few years. I think we will know you as a famous sports team owner but not a "tech entrepreneur". Can someone tell me another product that failed that a billionaire made to get super rich? Is that you Mark Cuban???

I was lucky selling corporate business applications I wrote and developed. I was lucky with Precept, a hedge fund built on my tech background that I sold (didnt know about that one did you..). I was lucky with broadcast.com , I was lucky to start HDNet years before anyone else thought HD had a chance, lucky with about 10 other companies too.
