Q1. Dallas Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban proved his business intelligence once again with the acquisition of star player Kristaps Porzingis. To benefit from this blockbuster trade even further, Cuban plans to sell one-time-only special edition Porzingis jerseys at a price of $380 each during the first month of the season (i.e., during October 2019 only). The production cost for each of these jerseys would be $100 thanks to their golden details, and any unsold jersey during October will be sold for $80 during November 2019.
