Fans of the Dallas Mavericks are still upset with Luka Doncic’s trade to the Lakers, but Mark Cuban has reiterated that he had nothing to do with it. He says that when he sold the organization, he was told that he would keep control of basketball operations, but that didn’t happen.
With a net worth of $5.7 billion, Cuban took the time to reply to a Facebook fan who claimed that he should be “run out of Dallas” due to the shocking deal. He then defended himself in the comment section.
When he sold the team to Miriam Adelson sixteen months ago, he intended to manage the team’s basketball operations, he informed the fan. He said: “Someone obviously changed their mind.”
It is consistent with Cubes’ statement earlier this month that he was unaware that a deal between Dallas and Los Angeles was being discussed. The creator of the post, Gavin Mulloy, told local media that he was surprised the billionaire had visited his page.
One of the season’s most intriguing games will occur when Doncic and the Lakers visit Dallas in a little more than a week.
