The NBA world has spent the day reeling over the shocking trade that sent Dallas Mavericks star Luka Donu010diu0107 to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The main question that has emerged has been, why? Why did the Mavericks trade away the face of their franchise for Anthony Davis? The second question has been, who? As in, who can Mavericks fans blame for this decision?
Well, it's not Mark Cuban. Cuban, the former controlling owner of the franchise, confirmed to local Dallas station WFAA that he was not involved in the deal.
Cuban, who bought the team in 2000, sold his majority stake in 2023.
