- [Mark Cuban] on trading for Paul Pierce in 2007: "We had a 3 way trade done. All teams agreed to their part of the deal. When we get on the trade call, the 3rd team killed the deal because they didn't know that a first was going to the Celtics. They chose not to do the deal at all." https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/1435306552584462343 166 comments nba
