Anti-Trump group sought Mavs' Cuban for run

Mark Cuban told the Washington Post that a group of conservative politicians have asked him to run as a third-party candidate in this year's presidential election.

The band of Republican politicians, according to the Post, is attempting to block presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and believe that Cuban, the outspoken billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, would resonate with voters.

Although he said he would "put [Trump] in his place," Cuban told the Post that he does not anticipate running for president this year, saying "there isn't enough time."

"I don't see it happening," Cuban wrote in an email to the newspaper.
