DALLAS -- Mark Cuban wants to give Donald Trump the chance to fire him.
The catch is, Trump has to hire him first.
Cuban on Monday challenged Trump to buy his services as a caddie for the celebrity-amateur round of an upcoming celebrity golf tournament. Trump already has agreed to play the event, which benefits the Fallen Patriot Fund charity started by Cuban.
"Donald, if you're looking for a new apprentice, I might not be that guy, but I'll be the caddie," Cuban said at a news conference hyping the tournament. "Hopefully you'll accept the challenge."
It would be an interesting pairing of the billionaire businessmen-turned-reality TV hosts, considering their recent spat.
They began taunting each other after Cuban announced his upcoming show, "The Benefactor." It came during the peak of Trump's show, "The Apprentice," prompting Trump to call it a knockoff.
Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, fired back by vowing his show will be radically different, adding that he's tried being the anti-Trump ever since they met a few years ago. Trump responded by saying he didn't remember meeting Cuban. Cuban then tweaked Trump by offering a job to the runner-up from Trump's show.
The duo will go face-to-face one way or another during the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, Nev., from July 15-18. Trump is among 82 celebrities ranging from actors to Olympians who have agreed to play.
Cuban's bag-toting skills will be auctioned July 14, the night before the celebrity-am event. He went for $25,000 last year, part of the $325,000 the event raised. This year's goal is $375,000. Cuban matched the total raised last year and will again this year.
"I'll challenge you, Donald Trump, to go out there and bid on me to be your caddie," Cuban said. "Hopefully I'll have to write a big check."
The Fallen Patriot Fund has donated more than $660,000 to 34 families of U.S. military personnel who were killed or seriously wounded in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Fund recipient Mark Graunke Jr. -- a Marine staff sergeant from nearby Lewisville who lost his left eye, left hand, hearing in his left ear and parts of his right leg and right hand to a bomb explosion -- joined Cuban at the news conference and will be at the golf tournament, too.
"I'm honored to be playing a role in raising funds for the Fallen Patriot Fund so other military families can benefit the way I did," Graunke said.
MAx iws $50 but we could all go in together and place the bid at the same instant!
