## Resource

Mark Cuban’s feud with Dallas governor Patrick Dumont heats up as he accuses the state of freezing him out of a $1B+ arena project — claiming he’s being sidelined despite owning 27% of the Mavericks and having a contract that should guarantee his role in the venture. The rift stems from last year’s sale of his majority stake to the Adelson and Dumont families, where a handshake deal to stay involved in basketball operations collapsed. Cuban also ties the fallout to the Luka Doncic trade that cost Nico Harrison his job — and now faces a looming clause forcing him to sell another 20% of the team. With the arena slated for 2031 on 140 acres in north Dallas, Cuban insists he’s being unfairly excluded from critical investment decisions — setting the stage for a high-stakes battle over control, money, and legacy.
