DALLAS— Mark Cuban, former majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, commented on the February 1 trade involving Luka Doncic, expressing that he would have demanded more before agreeing to the deal.
The trade, which sent Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in a three-team deal, has sparked criticism from fans and analysts. The Mavericks received Anthony Davis in return, which led to significant reactions.
Cuban emphasized Doncic’s value and stated that he would not have agreed to the trade unless the Mavericks received a better offer.
Doncic had been a key player for the Mavericks, contributing greatly to the team’s success. His departure marked a major change in the team’s direction.
The trade also involved other players, including Max Christie, adding complexity to the deal. The Lakers hope Doncic will strengthen their team, while the Mavericks plan to integrate Davis into their strategy.
