Mark Cuban Apologizes, Alleges NBA Stripped His Post-Sale Role With Mavericks

He now says the way he sold the team left him without the basketball voice he expected.

Overview

  • Cuban said on the DLLS Mavs podcast that he regrets the process of selling a 73% stake in 2023 and would have put the team out to bid.
  • He claimed a clause guaranteeing his presence in basketball meetings was removed at the league’s direction, a characterization the NBA has publicly disputed.
  • He acknowledged a breakdown in communication with GM Nico Harrison and said he instead talks regularly with team governor Patrick Dumont.
  • He reiterated he was hurt by the February trade of Luka Dončić to the Lakers and apologized to fans, saying he felt he let people down by not being there.
  • He retains roughly 27% ownership as Dallas pivots to Anthony Davis and top pick Cooper Flagg for its first season without Dončić.
