Mark Cuban Regrets Doncic Trade to Knicks

Mark Cuban, former majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, expressed regret over the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the New York Knicks in exchange for Jalen Brunson. Cuban stated that the trade, executed by general manager Nico Harrison under new ownership, would not have happened if he were still in control. The trade has been met with widespread criticism, as Doncic was seen as a franchise cornerstone, and his departure has coincided with a downturn for the Mavericks. Meanwhile, Jalen Brunson is making significant progress in his recovery from an ankle injury, with hopes of returning before the playoffs. Cuban has noted dissatisfaction with the team's performance since Doncic's departure but hopes for better results in the offseason. This situation highlights the different management approaches between Cuban and the new ownership.
