September 20th news: The Mavericks boss Cuban was a guest on the podcast program of reporter Pablo Torre today, and he defended the Clippers and Ballmer again.

Pablo Torre: "You said Ballmer is not the kind of person who is willing to break the rules to avoid the salary cap."

Cuban: "Yes, because you have to look at the risk-reward ratio."

Pablo Torre: "Then how do you explain it? In the Qiao Shuxin incident - this incident happened to be related to you - Ballmer and the Clippers were fined $250,000 by the league for giving Jordan Jr. an additional Lexus endorsement contract of $200,000 a year?"

Cuban: "I don't know, I don't remember this at all. If I was wrong and you were right this time, Ballmer would not be as smart as I thought." In the summer of 2015, Jordan Jr. verbally agreed to sign the Mavericks, but he regretted it during the freezing period and eventually returned to the Clippers. Therefore, people in the martial arts world called "Joe Shuxin". The Mavericks' recruitment work that summer also suffered a major blow.
