In an exclusive interview with Mike Fisher, owner of DallasBasketball.com - a RealGM Hoop Net affiliate website - Mark Cuban stated that if the league resorted to penalising the Dallas Mavericks draft picks as a result of his tirades he'd quit, selling his team and turning his back on the NBA game all together.

''If they?d take away picks? Now you?re impacting the ability of the team to compete. You impact fans? ability to enjoy the game. Your telling me you don?t want me in this league and you?re not going to give me a chance, then I?m out. ? I?m out,?? said Cuban.

''(I'd sell) because at that point it?s personal, and I can?t run a business in that kind of world. If it becomes personal, that it?s obvious that he wants me out, that it?s about me, and it?d be to the detriment of the fans and the team, then I can?t run a business the way I know how. ? Then I'm out''
His comments come in light of his ongoing fued with NBA commissioner David Stern, his latest outburst costing the owner of the Mavericks a whopping $500,000.  Cuban maintains his focus of trying to improve the NBA product, and while ''at least 15 other NBA owners have told me stories of once wanting to make changes in the league'' each have indicated that Stern only does things his own way, and advised Cuban not to bother trying.

''I ask these other owners what to do, and they all say, ?Don?t bother, Mark. That?s the way David plays the game.? He doesn?t allow changes unless he?s the one who came up with the idea. They say every time they bring up an issue, it ends with David playing politics, because that?s what David is good at. Without exception, that?s the recurring theme.??
