Mark Cuban buries head in hands, shakes head as Mavericks fans chant 'Fire Nico' during Luka Dončić's return

If anyone knows the pressure of running a sports team, it's Mark Cuban. The former Dallas Mavericks owner is one of the most vocal executives in sports and has openly discussed his career — both the hits and misses — more so than most professional sports owners.

That willingness to talk is how fans know Cuban wasn't on board with the Luka Donu010diu0107 trade. Cuban said publicly he would not have traded Donu010diu0107. He also criticized Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison for failing to get a better deal.

Given Cuban's proximity to both the Mavericks and Donu010diu0107, it was no surprise to see the former Mavericks majority owner show up to Wednesday's game, which saw Donu010diu0107 return to Dallas for the first time since the trade.
