Solomon Grundy Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 TMZ reached out to the owner of the Dallas Mavericks to ask him about Trump's potential interest in purchasing the Buffalo Bills. Cuban reportedly responded by saying, "He cant afford them by himself. So it would be interesting to see what group he put together to buy them. It would make things interesting." Apparently, Trump wasn't too happy with those comments, and fired back at Cuban accordingly: Mark Cuban is a lightweight whose net worth is a fraction of mine. He was rejected by baseball and probably plenty of others! By the way, I watched him play golf and he is a total non-athlete – zero clubhead speed. He lives vicariously through his basketball players. By the way, the Dallas Mavericks deal is syndicated and his partners have been fighting him over poor management. While the Bills deal would be easily handled by me, if I chose to do it, almost all sports deals are syndicated. Everybody in the financial world knows that DONALD TRUMP CANT AFFORD THE BUFFALO BILLS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 My understanding/estimate is that Trumps worth is in the (low) 9 figures. An NFL franchise is worth almost a billion & in order to "afford" something like that, it should only be a fraction of your net worth. So, it's likely correct that what Cuban said was true.

BillsBytheBay Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/richest-billionaires/donald-trump-net-worth/ according to you're link, trump is worth 4.9 billion to Cubans 4.5. That's a difference of 400 million isn't it? How much will the Bills be sold for? Edited April 6, 2014 by JaxBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 according to you're link, trump is worth 4.9 billion to Cubans 4.5. That's a difference of 400 million isn't it? How much will the Bills be sold for? Not sure how much they would be sold for, though from what I understand of Trump, most of his "worth" is an assets, rather than cash. I am not taking him seriously as a potential Bills owner... can't stand the guy. As has been mentioned in other threads, if he did have any hope of being an NFL owner, he would have to cut his ties to his casinos. Can anyone see that happening? I can't. I used to hate Cuban, for all the reasons that most people hate him...big mouth, always wanting the spotlight...but I have come to respect him much more in recent years. I can't see the NFL allowing him into the billionaire boys club either, for some of the same reasons as Trump. I am still pinning my hopes on Pegula. I may be wrong about this (and I am sure somebody will jump on me to correct me!), but if I recall, last time I checked, if Pegula purchased the Bills, he would be the 5th or 6th wealthiest owner in the league... surprisingly (at least to me), Ralph Wilson was on the upper end of the wealth charts too.

SBUffalo Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 according to you're link, trump is worth 4.9 billion to Cubans 4.5. That's a difference of 400 million isn't it? How much will the Bills be sold for? According to Forbes the team is worth about $792 million. That's not an official number, though. It'd be in that ballpark. Obviously Trump isn't going to pay 100% for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Trump is such a megalomaniacal, bombastic, self absorbed, annoying jackass who can never STFU irrespective of his knowledge or lack thereof on a particular subject. Yeah, he'd make a great owner. An !@#$, for short! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Everybody in the financial world knows that DONALD TRUMP CANT AFFORD THE BUFFALO BILLS!! That's insane. Everyone in the financial market knows if you're worth more than what your trying to buy it's a no brainer you can afford it. People buy houses every minute in this country and aren't worth a tenth of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUffalo Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm assuming this has been mentioned already, but Trump needs to sell his casinos first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Trump is just getting the attention he needs to keep breathing... One of my all-time favorite put downs, from an article about Trump, last week: "the ambient ridiculousness that trails Donald Trump like a cloud of steak-fart and pine cone air freshener scent serves to obscure and overwhelm his every action and utterance."

SF Bills Fan Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I would take Mark Cuban over Trump as an owner. Though, Trump is right- Cuban does not have the means alone. What people don't realize is most people do not have the cash to purchase a team on their own. Jerry Jones is the majority owner of the Cowboys, but only owns a fraction of the team, for example. One guy that has the cash and it is all liquid is Pegula. Pegula could buy and sell Jerry Jones over several times. Pegula could lay down a cool billion for the Bills not lose sleep that night.

BillsLikeBuffalo Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm a Cuban fan ( Shark Tank) but I feel he would be a horrible owner for the Bills..and would most certainly move them at the first chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
