People get fired from companies they founded all the time. Once you give up that 51%, you are always at risk. Nobody is allowing some sort of "you have to employ me!!!" clause into a contract like that. I have seen plenty if people sell companies that thought they had something like that. It never worked out for them.

As soon as the new owners have no use for Cuban they will sideline him. That day might not be immediately though, and it won't likely be as ugly as it could have been as he is still a minority owner.

Absolutly, i have many friend who got the same experience ( and i got one too). Once you become a minority shareholder, it never long before trouble start. New Shareholders want to show power and you keep the tendency to still consider yourself as the biggest owner, it almost never work out well.

yeah will be interesting to see how he accepts having been supplanted by Ant and whether he likes winning more than what his numbers are. But either way if the Wolves stay this deep into contention they won't dare disrupt it

Read few ITW from KAT. He say at his stage of his career, all he want is to win. He improve a lot in defense this year and his chemistry with Rudy is quite good. Also he seems to have a very good connection on the field with Mike. They definitly have a 2-3 years window to win something. On my opinion, they need one more PG who can score coming from the bench. I'm thrilled for Mike ( such a nice guy) and for Rudy as many tought he was done.

Does that matter if the parents dont want to pursue a criminal case? Can the state do it themselves?

Yes. It falls under criminal law, not civil law. In this case I believe it can be either a misdemeanor or felony statutory rape, as per the article below. If charges are pressed by the district attorney office, they can force the victim to testify and those charges also cannot be dropped by the victim.

However during initial investigation the police cannot force the victim to provide evidence or make a statement, and whatever evicende they are able to gather might not be enough for the prosecutors. So unless the actual sex tape surfaces that proves sexual encounter without the victim giving a statement to the police, its likely going to fall through without cooperation from the girl or any potential witness.
In California, the age of sexual consent is 18. Thus, anyone under 18 cannot consent to sexual conduct. California Penal Code section 261.5 prohibits unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. The law defines the crime as an act of sexual intercourse with a minor who is not the spouse of the offender.
  • The crime is a misdemeanor offense if the victim is less than three years younger than the offender.
  • If there is more than a three-year age difference between the victim and the offender, the state can file misdemeanor or felony charges.
  • If the victim is under 16 and the offender is 21 or over, the state can file a misdemeanor or felony charge, and the prison sentence could be up to four years.

Its ironical that Bulls snap their 5 game skid by beating Bucks in a game where DeRozan and Lavine sit out.

Was also their 3rd highest scoring game of the year. Shoutout to Drummond for 10 points and 14 rebounds in 13.5 minutes (100% FG, 75% FT).
