We go back to his favourite roster building strategy: retirement home mode.
Though I do agree with the overall logic.
Gambling declined. Expansion team in their hometown. Not hiring GM and cleaning the cap. The last two can easily interpreted as franchise selling moves rather than what we wanted to believe.
That would also explain the weird Tyus Jones trade. Cuban is back in charge and has already activated retirement home mode.
When Cuban was still running the show and hired Linsey to help out the Mavs added:
Lively
Omax
DJJ
Exum
Williams
PJ
Gafford
Grimes
All of those guys were in their early to mid 20s. There was a clear shift towards youth and it obviously wasn't Nico driven (who traded DJJ/Luka/Grimes for Klay/AD/Martin once he took over).
