The NBA has fined Mark Cuban $250,000 for speaking the truth or being a pain in the butt, depending on who one asks.

As an official Mark Cuban fan (see my user page -- thanks Madproof9 for making the fan tag!), I say:

BOO.

Stern has gotten out of control with the way he is handling the NBA. He once was one of the best league owners in all the major sports, but in recent years he has lost complete control of his league while trying to bump slumping sales in the post Jordan era. Now in the wake of the brawl in Detroit it seems that Stern is squashing anything that may challange his power. Cuban only said what everyone is the world has been thinking. In fact his blog from earlier in the playoffs was actually full of good ideas that would help the league rather than hurt it.

Like I said before, this is why I would love to see the Mavs win. Stern handing the trophy to Cuban. Could be one of the most awkward moments EVER!

Cuban should refuse to pay the fine. Make the league sue him for it. It's a lot of money, and with the off-season coming, he'll have plenty of time to represent himself pro se if they do bring an action against him.

Does anyone know what happens if you don't pay a fine as an owner (I assume if a player doesn't pay they fine the team or suspend him or take his pay or something). But what can they do to the owner. Plus he just got fined a quarter of a friggin million. Makes my speeding tix seem paltry...

I'd assume suspension of privileges? But would the NBA have the cojones?

He denies it. At this point, the fine is high because the last one was not effective. It's standard -- subsequent fines are more than previous ones. But still, I'd fight it.
