Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5513326, member: 1969"] Its not totally uncommon in business especially smaller ones - certainly not the norm by any means though. Usually its because the former owner wanted to liquidate their investment in his business, and the new owners want to retain their knowledge and leadership. So the agreement is they stay on to manage and lead the company and it works for both..... until it often stops working because there is a strategic disagreement between what the old guy wants to do and the controlling stake wants to do. In this case, its quite plausible the new ownership may want Cuban due to his NBA knowledge to still be the face and head decision maker of the basketball team. It works, until they really disagree on something. [/QUOTE]
