The NBA world is still in shock—Luka Doncic is no longer a Maverick. Feb 2 will go down in history as the day everything changed. But behind closed doors, the drama is even wilder. Mark Cuban, once the franchise’s mastermind, now plays a different role. But the real decision-maker? GM Nico Harrison. And when the blockbuster trade sent Doncic from Dallas to LA, Cuban didn’t have a front-row seat.
Thus, in a candid chat with YMH Studio, he finally revealed what went down. Turns out, it wasn’t Mark Cuban pulling the strings. The former Mavericks boss set the record straight with Dallas’ WFAA—he had nothing to do with the deal.
In the interview, the 65-year-old business tycoon revealed that he was in Florida when he got to know about the trade. However, the mega move had pushed his daughter into hiding. But why? You see, there could’ve been safety issues that had begun with Harrison soon after the trade. Mark Cuban narrated:
“My daughter was at a party and had to hide when it came out. I was at South by Southwest at the premiere of The Accountant 2—great movie, by the way—and someone started yelling, Fire Nico. It’s like the new Let’s Go Brandon.”
If this wasn’t enough, the cold response that Cuban received from Nico Harrison after trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers surely sent chills down the ex-boss’s spine. In his presence, he would’ve never made the move, that is for sure. But now that the deal is done, “In Nico we trust,” said Cuban, with a subtle hint of sadness flickering in his eyes.
