The multi-billion dollar worth Dallas Mavericks is currently sitting in the 9th position in the Eastern Conference table with a 14-14 record after their latest defeat against the Cleveland Cavaliers. While it is still the early stages of the season and the Mavericks have plenty of games to improve their game, their deficiencies are prominent in their games. They arguably lack in rebounding, shot-making, rim protection, and the most striking one, their over-dependence on franchise cornerstone Luka Doncic. On top of that, their owner, Mark Cuban was also unable to help Doncic in any way in the off-season. Therefore, NBA fans have expressed their thoughts on social media regarding the current situation around the Mavs.

There is no doubt that Mark Cuban is one of the most well-known owners of a franchise in the league. However, the lack of effort from him and the Mavs front office to off-load the pressure from the Slovenian international’s shoulders is prominent in their games. Luka Doncic who is currently playing a record high of 37 minutes per game, probably needs some support on the court. But the Mavs front office didn’t acquire any big names except JaVale McGee and Christian Wood. In addition to that, they also lost their playmaker/scorer Jalen Brunson in return for nothing.

Considering the current situation of the Dallas Mavericks, the fans called out Cuban. They stated that the 64-year-old was singlehandedly responsible for “wasting 2 generational talents”?which included Luka Donic and Dirk Nowitzki.

He’s what people pretend Jerry Jones is… just an awful awful owner
The fact that Dirk was able to win a ring in spite of Cube’s is remarkable

Luka my favorite player rn. And I’m from Texas. But if he don’t get up outta here…..u will be absolutely right. Mark is a great man, not a great owner.

Thats not the point though. Dirk won in spite of Mark not because of Mark. Compare championship teams to Dirk and see how many current all-stars he played with? In 2011 Dirk played with 0 all-stars vs other championship teams that has 2+

The 2011 Mavs might be the most impressive nba championship title ever because it was won despite Cuban’s mismanagement of the team. It was like winning with one hand tied behind the back. But it’s not happening twice. Especially not in today’s nba.

You think he would’ve learned from Dirk Nowitzki but I guess we’re about to see that all over again.
