Less Mark Cuban would be helpful for the Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas owner is a consistent part of the Maverick narrative
We’ve often wondered why the Mavericks aren’t a free agent destination. After the 2011 title, the argument was Dirk Nowitzki’s age and the market weren’t appealing. There are reasonable theories about Rick Carlisle’s coaching and churlish nature. Now, we have thoughts about Luka Doncic’s ball dominance being detrimental. All of these things have credence, but what we don’t talk enough about is Cuban himself.
The organization, often aided by positive local media coverage, puts forth a constant public relations spin that they are the best and brightest and that given the right set of circumstances, will put together a championship contender. It’s been a decade since the title and the results speak for themselves: NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki finished his career on a sub-.500 team, the franchise has six first round exits, and now have an NBA megastar possibly frustrated with the front office after two early postseason eliminations.
