How Mark Cuban made sure Mavs' pick of Dennis Smith Jr. didn't get leaked to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski

Anyone interested in the NBA draft, and NBA news in general, knows to follow Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports' "The Vertical" on Twitter.

You know, the guy who, on Thursday night, consistently tweeted teams' intended draft picks well before they were officially made? In many cases, ol' Woj's Twitter timeline was one, two, even three picks ahead of Adam Silver's official announcements.

Except in Mavericks' case.

Dallas owner Mark Cuban often points out to us how airtight his franchise has been over the years when it comes to revealing news before he wants the world to hear it.
