    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"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."</div>

    I understand Cuban's point about the NBA being in larger markets, but he should be honest. Having a team in Oklahoma City cuts into his team's regional appeal.

    His Shultz comments surprise me, as I always got the impression Howard bought the team as an investment and washed his hands of it when he realised it wasn't going to make him money. I never saw him as a basketball and Seattle fan first.
