Here is Cuban’s full message via ESPN’s Tim MacMahon:
It’s hard to feel bad for Cuban because he still has lots of money and owns a professional team, but if you’re a Mavs fan, that’s a rough way to lose a big offseason acquisition.
There will be a time when I detail everything i know regarding the last 48 hours.
I don’t think the time is right to say anything beyond the facts that he never responded to me at all yesterday. Not once. To this minute I have not heard anything from him since Tuesday night.
More importantly, I specifically told Wes that I would not hold him to his commitment if he wanted to go elsewhere. I can’t print his exact response , but suffice it to say he is excited to play for our Mavs:) Wes Matthews is exactly the type of player we want in a Mavs uniform and our fans will love him
He will be in Dallas today so if you see him give him an MFFL welcome
+letsgomavs !
And Dust On !
But it could be worse. At least Wesley Matthews isn’t going anywhere.
