Cuban told EXTRA that he is  excited not only  about having the 6'11'' power forward from the Los Angeles Lakers, but also about having Kardashian in Dallas.

"You know, we had a 'team' meeting, and we all decided that Khloe is the official favorite Kardashian of the Dallas Mavericks," said Cuban to EXTRA. "She's welcome with open arms. We can't wait to have the whole family, can't wait to have Khloe and Lamar."

While Khloe tweeted after the news of the trade that she was "sad" and "a tad thrown off" by the news of the trade, Cuban said, "She is going to love it. The Mavs really make a point for all the players, when we bring somebody in, we really work with the families to make them feel comfortable."

Now this makes the Mavericks look like a super swell team, this supporting of reality TV fake celebs in the name of the team. Can I be a Maverick/Kardashian fan as well, and snip my own balls off in the process because that's what it would take for that to occur?

I think the Lakers should combine with the Housewives of Beverly Hills because... I hate the Lakers. Sad day for Mavericks fans.

Khloe to Realtor: "Yeah, I'm gonna need a house within 18 feet of a Golden Corral."
