Former Dallas Mavericks majority owner Mark Cuban said the February trade that sent superstar guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers "still weighs" on him and the franchise. Speaking on the “DLLS Mavs” podcast, Cuban conceded that the Mavericks did not receive a commensurate return—Anthony Davis, guard Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick—and acknowledged that fans ‘were hurt’ by the move. Cuban relinquished control of basketball operations when he sold a controlling stake in the Mavericks to Miriam Adelson and Patrick Dumont in December 2023, though he still owns 27% of the team. He said the reduced role left him feeling he "let people down" during negotiations. Looking ahead, Cuban expressed optimism that this year’s No. 1 draft pick, forward Cooper Flagg, can revitalise the club's fortunes. The billionaire also reflected on earlier flashpoints, repeating his long-held belief that the Mavericks’ 2006 NBA Finals loss to the Miami Heat was "stolen" from Dallas. While Cuban insisted he does not regret selling the franchise, he said he regrets "how I did it," underscoring continuing second-guessing of key decisions made during and after his 23-year tenure as majority owner.
