Cuban To Join Balsillie???

Is Mark Cuban going to partner with Jim Balsillie to purchase the Pittsburgh Penguins? It is a possibility. It is being reported today in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review that Cuban sent Balsillie an email to inform him of his interest in joining him. Balsillie supposedly sent a nice reply to Cuban, but he didn't give him an answer.

Cuban, who was part of the Andy Murstein group along with Dan Marino, has been rumored to be interested in the Pittsburgh Penguins and Pittsburgh Pirates for quite some time. He is a passionate sports fan, as evidenced by his antics court side as he cheers on his Dallas Mavericks. He is willing to spend money to win and doesn't like to lose. He would do what it took to keep Pittsburgh's young core together.

Cuban would love to keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh and this can only be looked at as a good thing. More to come...
