It was just a few winters ago that Mark Cuban shipped off Jae Crowder, a first rounder, and others for Rajon Rondo and Dwight Powell. A trade that the Mavericks thought would put them over the top, but would only come back to haunt them.
Now, it’s December again and the Mavericks are clearly not contenders. Except this time. they hold the worst record in the league and Dirk Nowitzki is two years older.
So what does Mark Cuban do this time around?
You can never count Cuban out of the trade market, but one thing he did make clear was unloading veterans for young flyers is not something that he is looking to do.
