Look, Iam not a Cuban Homer and believe critism of him is definitely deserved and warranted (esp. In cases of undervaluing the draft). But in this situation I think Cuban is less to blame due to too many conflating factors.
Moreover, I don't know if the Mavs didn't believe in Brunson or more they didnt believe in the Brunson Luka pairing. Seeing the effect of having defenders surrounding Dirk likely had a profound impact on Cuban. When it comes to winning chamionships having one mediocre to non defender on the court is difficult enough than having two.
If Kyrie was younger to match Lukas timeline, I doubt anyone on this board would have a problem upgrading to Kyrie.
OK. . Cuban's pennypinching cost us Nash and Brunson, but let's just move on. We've known Cuban to be a dumbass for years. . a nice dumbass, but a dumbass.
