Sold Milwaukee

As a billionaire, Mark Cuban might not know the value of a buck, but he definitely doesn't know the value of the Bucks. He called them a "bargain" and "cheap" at $550 million, after a sale was agreed to on Wednesday, so we doubt he shops at the dollar store (and old owner Herb Kohl probably doesn't patronize Kohl's). That averages out to $36.6 million per win this season. Forbes estimated the franchise's worth at $405 million in January, which is $145 mill. less than the purchase price, meaning bargain hunting and buck hunting aren't one in the same. Maybe Cuban has been smoking some of Larry Sanders' stash.

In other major mischaracterizations, Klay Thompson compared Blake Griffin to "a bull in a china shop." That's a bunch of bull, although courtesy of that comment, the series between the Warrior sand Clippers is shaping up to be a pottery barn-burner. Griffin can clear a Ford Taurus (or its Korean equivalent), but that doesn't make him a taurus. He's closer to a cheetah: swift, strong and in complete control of his body. The only plates Griffin is in danger of damaging when he plays are techtonic.
