Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said Tuesday he's "considering" running for president but is not married to the idea.

During an appearance on ViewPoint, the podcast hosted by former South Carolina state representative Bakari Sellers, Cuban admitted the thought of running for president has crossed his mind (via David Rutz of the Washington Free Beacon).

"Yes. Considering, yes," Cuban said when asked if he might run. "Ready to commit to it, no."

Cuban also sat down with CNBC's Fast Money on Tuesday and said he is "actively considering" a run for president.

"Based off what's happening in the White House, based off what's happening in the country and the world, we need better leadership," he said. "And I think I could do a better job. But there's a lot more to it than just thinking you can do a better job, and so I'm not ready to make the commitment."

Cuban added it's not his "all-time dream" to be president, and that he won't run simply to engage in a popularity contest.

"Do I think I can be effective? Yes, but I have no desire to be a politician," he previously told ESPN.com's Tim MacMahon. "If I did something, if I ran for office, if I ran for president, it would be because I thought I could have an impact."

Cuban, 59, endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton prior to the 2016 election but reiterated Tuesday during his interview with Sellers that he is "independent all the way through."
 
Trump considered and now we are stuck with him. I can't see Cuban as our President.

But something tells me that she's hiding something. She's too squeaky clean.

She doesn't need to, she has so much money its not even funny
 
I really don't think he would do well after his association with Hillary. She is toxic waste at this point, the Dems are going to need fresh faces to have any success in future elections.

The population did not vote him in. The electoral college system did. The system is biased toward the State vote rather than the individual which proves we as individuals don't live in a deciding process.
 
I guess if we want a good president we'd better create and watch a lot more reality tv shows. We need a bigger, better talent pool.

Kanye's association with the Kardashians is making so much sense now
 
Just what we need, another businessman who thinks you treat political leaders like you treat a janitor who isn't cleaning the bathroom.

Trump ran against an even more unpopular person.

Cuban would be running against a more unpopular person, too.

But hey, we're in the new normal where reality TV show $billionaires are the better choice than the career criminal politicians.

Fundamentally untrue
 
I would consider Cuban. Being a billionaire or a tv show host isn't what makes Trump horrible. It's his inability to separate that persona from the decision making process. If Cuban can show an understanding of important subject matter, compassion for those in need and a vision that makes sense to me financially, socially and ethically then I'd be in. But those are big IF's.
 
We are at a point in society where celebrities can and will run for president and win. That's how dumb that position has become as well as the American people
