[Highlight] Luka Dončić is all smiles as he catches up with Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban:
Mark “I would divorce my wife before trading Luka” Cuban
I mean, he didn’t trade him lol
Made the stupid sale in the first place that led to him not having the control to stop it though.
Also gave him the freedom to invest in Indiana and win a championship there. I think it worked out for him
This was his Sophie’s Choice
You can’t donate to nil/school because you’re an nba owner..?
Cuban just wanted the money but none of the blame.
should only be blamed if he knew they would be trading him.
Minority owner means no power at all.
His wife would understand
the dream is still alive
The really interesting dynamic is Luka and Kidd. Luka has not interacted with Kidd before or after any of the 4 games he’s now played against Dallas. And I haven’t seen Kidd try to talk to him either.
It’s clearly Luka’s belief (and probably is true) that Kidd supported the trade. No other reason for this when Luka is friendly with literally everyone else including assistant coaches.
Maybe Kidd felt he couldn’t say no to Nico and keep his own job, so acted like he supported the trade? One day we’ll learn more.
Which is weird since JKidd looked like a hostage in that first press conference post-trade. Guess he bought in quick and that irked Luka
Kidds default look is pretty close the hostage look to be fair But I just think that was a smart PR play by Kidd. I also believe he was in on it.
FWIW, he unfollowed Kidd on IG while he still follows Michael FInley, the new co-GM.
That press conference deadass made me believe he found out just like the rest of us but as the season went on, it was def obvious he played a part in that trade.
Absolutely. Kidd lied big when he stated that he knew nothing.
I think he is probably one of the guys behind the scenes that criticizes Luka’s defense but I don’t think he expected Nico to trade him.
I know it was you Fredo
No. Not in a million years. He would never trade him
2028… I truly believe it. Luka and Coop together in Dallas!
Why would he go back to Dallas after what the Front Office did to him? He was just entering his prime and has had an unbelievable career, then they decide to trade him for broken parts.
Because the front office has been cleaned out. The fans love him even more than when he was here and all that’s left is for ownership to sell. That won’t happen so he won’t comeback, but a man can dream.
There’s enough evidence that Luka has ill feelings towards Kidd as well. And after all the shit ownership threw at him after the trade, there’s no way he’s not pissed at them too
Don’t believe Luka will go back to Dallas but to be fair, Kidd might not be the HC by 2028 lol
2028 #WeWillBeThere
I think Mavs are tanking at this point. Regardless, I think they gonna be really good next season. Flagg is legit
Luka is coming back to Dallas 2028!!
Cuban wouldn’t have traded him, Nico made the decision and never even consulted with Cuban
The only other people Mark Cuban looks at like that are his wife and Curt Cignetti

What is close to 0?
Mark Cuban fucking sucks
You could move on and still like him, though
