The only reason I know this is because Sportscenter aired a clip of Cuban answering a Kobe Bryant question, which was apparently asked moments after Cuban got off the dance floor.</p> </p> Cuban began by saying that nobody in the Mavs organization had talked to the Lakers about trading for Kobe. He then made it clear that he'd be more than willing to chat with Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak.</p> </p> "Kobe is a phenomenal player, and the Mavs have always been opportunistic since the day that I bought them," Cuban said, as his dance partner Kym Johnson tried not to look totally bored. "So, if something were to present itself, we?d always have to explore it. But we have a great team." -- <font color="#000000">Dallas Morning News</font></p></div></div>
