J.J. Barea teamed up with Mark Cuban to bring aid to Puerto Rico

Well, it’s official — Mark Cuban has done more for Puerto Rico than Donald Trump.

It was revealed at Mavs practice on Tuesday that the reason J.J. Barea wasn’t there was because Mark Cuban lent Barea the team plane so he could send supplies, food and water to the island.
