Former Mavs owner Mark Cuban makes stunning admission
It’s been more than two years since Mark Cuban chose to sell the majority share of the Dallas Mavericks to the Adelson and Dumont families.
That has given Cuban more than enough time to reflect on the decision that put the controlling interest of the franchise out of his hands.
In a recent interview on the “Intersections” podcast, he aired his frustration with the business partners he did business with.
“I don’t regret selling,” Cuban said via ESPN. “I regret who I sold to. I made a lot of mistakes in the process, and I’ll leave it at that.”
Over the last several months, Cuban has been quite vocal about his displeasure with how the franchise is being run since the sale. Much of which has come with the team’s decision to trade their franchise cornerstone, Luka Doncic, in the prime of his career, to the Los Angeles Lakers, which Patrick Dumont approved.
Although the Mavericks lucked out by securing the first overall pick in last year’s draft, which became promising rookie Cooper Flagg, the Doncic trade still hangs over the organization.
When Cuban sold his majority stock in the team for a roughly $3.5 billion valuation, he strongly voiced that he would continue to have control of the Mavericks’ basketball operations.

However, it hasn’t been that way, as he hasn’t played a significant role in the decision-making process, especially regarding the Doncic trade.
All Cuban can do now is publicly voice his greiveances unless things take a drastic turn of events with the controlling ownership.
