In the 00s Cuban was succesful because he was willing to pay more than any other owner before they changed the rules and added the repeater tax. He has been flat out cheap ever since. At times the Mavs had the lowest payroll in the league. One season even under the minimum. In the last couple of years the Mavs punted on multiple opportunities to use capspace or trade exceptions. And we used the same excuse for him.
Now the Mavs have a great talent like Luka. Some bad front office decisions that involved Cuban have put the Mavs in a difficlt situation. In the past he used money to compensate for his/GMs/coaches incompetence but I am not sure if he is still as committed.
