Everyone on the outside of this situation is still confused about this trade, including the former majority owner of the Mavericks. Mark Cuban (now a Dallas minority owner) spoke about the trade on the "Your Mom's House" podcast in which he basically said the trade would've never happened had he still been the one making the decisions.

Cuban has tried to hold back when discussing the Mavericks decision to trade Doncic, but he recently dropped the gloves when looking at the deal. Cuban admitted that he was "dumbfounded" by the trade, and that had he still been involved with the team, the trade never would have taken place.

Mark Cuban has been a big part of the Dallas Mavericks organization for over two decades, but he no longer weighs in on personnel decisions after selling his majority share of the team in 2023. That means Cuban was not a part of the decision to trade the face of the franchise,
