Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban doesn’t think coach Rick Carlisle’s threat to shake up the team’s roster should be taken literally.

“Oh, it’s 100 percent about pressing buttons,” Cuban told ESPN.com before Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets. “The one thing you know about us, if we’re actually going to make a trade, nobody knows about it. And they were buttons that needed to be pressed, so I agree wholeheartedly with him.” Carlisle ripped the Dallas rotation players after Tuesday’s 103-99 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
