Cuban: Mavs should've got 'better deal' for Luka
Briefly

Mark Cuban has weighed in on the controversial trade of Luka Doncic from the Mavericks, expressing dissatisfaction with the terms. Cuban believes the Mavs should have secured a more favorable deal that included additional unprotected first-round picks, drawing comparisons to a recent acquisition deal for Kevin Durant by the Suns. His reflection highlights the ongoing reverberations of the trade within Dallas and the expectations of fans. While he retains a minority stake in the team, Cuban maintains he is no longer involved in decision-making.
If the Mavs are going to trade Luka, that's one thing. Just get a better deal. No disrespect to Anthony Davis, but I still firmly believe if we had gotten four unprotected No. 1s and Anthony Davis and Max Christie, this would be a different conversation.
Cuban was at the front of the decision-making line in 2018 when the Mavericks acquired Doncic on draft night in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks.
Davis might not play another game this season. If so, he totaled 31 minutes in a Dallas uniform in 2025.
