[Saba Sports News] Former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban apparently shared the same shock as everyone else when Luka Doncic was dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Ex-Mavericks player Chandler Parsons revealed on Run It Back that he texted Cuban after the trade, saying, “I am so confused.” Cuban’s response? “That makes two of us.”
Cuban sold his majority stake in the Mavericks in 2023 but initially retained control over basketball operations. However, his influence has since diminished, and he had no say in the Doncic deal—just like head coach Jason Kidd.
Many have questioned whether the trade would have happened under Cuban’s leadership. His response suggests it likely wouldn’t have. Furious Mavericks fans, still protesting the move, probably wish he was still in charge.
