Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban said on Tuesday that he would vote against a Sonics' relocation to Oklahoma City even if it means he is the lone owner to support the Sonics remaining in Seattle, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is reporting.
Cuban's main reason for his stance is market size, with Seattle being the league's 14th largest market.
"I'm going to wait to get all the information," he said before the Sonics' game against the Mavericks. "(But) my preference is the Sonics stay in Seattle. My prejudice is against having a Dustbowl Division in this part of the country because I don't think in the big picture that helps the NBA, and I think the bigger market helps the NBA."
