Mark Cuban, on Luka Doncic's transfer: "They should have gotten a better deal"

We cannot say that Mark Cuban has been the best sports executive in NBA history. He made many mistakes during his long tenure leading the Dallas Mavericks, but what can be said about him is that he knew how to treat his stars, Dirk Nowitzki and Luka Doncic, and that with him, the transfer of the Slovenian to the Los Angeles Lakers would never have happened.

In a recent interview on WFAA, he has been critical for the first time of what Nico Harrison and his successor at the helm of the franchise, Patrick Dumont, have done. Critical above all because, once you decide to trade him, the agreement, as all analysts have commented, was regrettable. Thus, the Cuban family was not at all satisfied with the deal.

Interviewer: Was your son upset about the trade?
Mark Cuban: Yes.

Interviewer: And you?
Mark Cuban: Of course. And as I said before, if the Mavs were going to trade Luka, that's one thing, but get a better deal. Without disrespecting Anthony Davis, but I strongly believe that if we had gotten four unprotected first-round picks, Anthony Davis and Max Christie, this would be a different conversation.

However, when asked if he regrets having sold the franchise, he says no for an interesting reason. 

Interviewer: Do you have any regrets about selling the team?
Mark Cuban: Sometimes I get mad and think, "I would have done this differently," but no, not really. I sold the team because I didn't want my kids to end up in this position. Imagine if I hadn't sold it and my kids took over, and made a mistake like this.
