The NBA Mavericks and the Lakers recently completed a shocking deal, sending the first brother Doncic out in exchange for Davis, after the news appeared, many people questioned it, and even many Mavericks fans could not understand the team's behavior, and NBA senior reporter Stan broke the news on the 10th, in fact, the original team owner Cuban had tried to prevent the deal.

Stan wrote that after Cuban learned about the incident, he persuaded general manager Harrison to abandon the trade and not send Doncic away, but it was too late, and Stan said that when Cuban knew, Harrison had reached a verbal agreement with the Lakers.

Cuban bought the Mavericks in 2000 and became the team's biggest owner, and in 2023 he sold 73% of his stake to Adelson when he thought he could still be involved in the team's decision-making, and now it looks like Cuban has been ruled out.

Citing sources, Stan said Cuban was hurt not to be involved in the Doncic trade, and it also meant that he was getting farther and farther away from decision-making, something he didn't expect when he sold his shares. When Cuban was banned from road trips this season, he had an exclusive seat behind the players' box, and he told Stan at the time that he didn't expect that after he sold his shares, he would also have a say in the team's decision-making.
