If I'm understanding their basic message, the pitch is "we can get you cheaper prescriptions because we're a well run business that's making a rational but not exorbitant profit" and linking your branding to someone already famous for running businesses seems to be a very reasonable way to add credibility to that message.

In other words, I don't think Cuban puts his name on all businesses he's involved in like this, but for this case specifically it seems fairly obvious that using his name furthers their message.

Also it's a sketchier industry, so having a recognizable name certainly would assuage my fears about using it.

That said I have to assume Cuban is also getting a PR benefit here.
