Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban expressed his full support of the NBA's plan to restart the 2019-20 season in a bubble location in Orlando. For Cuban, the priority is the health and well-being of NBA personnel. The Mavs are trying to do everything in their power to achieve this.

Mark Cuban joined Outside the Lines to share his thoughts on the “bubble city” in Orlando. The Mavs owner revealed that once the league called the season off in March, the immediate thing on their minds was how to resume the season safely.

“I mean, this has been our entire focus since March 11 — how do we get back safely?,” Cuban told ESPN. “I think the NBA is doing everything possible. We’re learning from what others are doing. We’re dealing with the best in the fields, all related fields, all medical fields, all scientists. We’re talking to the best of the best. And so if there’s any way we can do it, we’re going to pull this off.”

Cuban noted that the NBA is essentially following the model that households all over the world follow. The league has set up a controlled environment where they can track literally everyone, including the Mavs, so as to avoid the spread of the disease.

“When you have a controlled environment, or as controlled as you possibly can get it, I think we’re trying emulate what we do in our homes, where we feel safer,” Cuban told ESPN. “People are getting tested. People are being monitored when they come into the environment. There’s continuous information. Every precaution that possibly can be taken, that’s exactly what we’ll do.”

The NBA has set July 31 as the tentative date of its return. The 22 teams set to return, which include the Mavs, will play eight regular-season games to determine their standings. If the tentative date pushes thru, the NBA Finals will end not later than October 14.
