I thought I saw an interview with him recently talking more like a "we" than "them" in talking about the recent good moves. I just wonder if the longer we get, the more Cuban tries to change the narrative. Maybe we even get, the Mavs have escorted Cuban from his seat near the bench. Ha ha.
I like Cuban. I really do. I was just done with him being able to ever build a championship contender. I mean the last few years was a clown show. Haralabob, Donnie Nelson thing, the sexual harrassment stuff. There were so many other things both on and off the court. It still boggles my mind that the organization never had a draft board. I mean the most surprising thing from the Luka draft may not have been PHX, SAC and ATL all passing on Luka, but that the Mavs actually got that move right. It seems like everything else they did over that time as coming up wrong.
I'm with you on all this, and I'd be pretty surprised if he's not a little salty about this whole thing already. The whole "Kidd and Harrison will still report to me" thing didn't even last for the rest of the initial season, and honestly, every day since he sold majority stake has demonstrated that he has been holding the franchise back for a while (despite being very good for it during his first decade).
