Mark Cuban Has No Language In Sale Agreement Protecting Position Running Basketball Ops
While Mark Cuban has been promised ongoing control of basketball operations with the Dallas Mavericks despite his sale of a majority stake to the Adelson and Dumont families, sources tell Marc Stein that the sale agreement does not contain specific language about Cuban's role. It was previously reported that Cuban would run the basketball side of the Mavericks "forevermore." Sources tell Stein that the day-to-day basketball operations are not changing. Cuban could indeed be in charge of basketball operations until he's ready to retire, but his position is at the very least not protected contractually. Cuban retains a 27 percent stake in the franchise, but is no longer governor. Cuban is 65 and purchased the Mavericks in 2000. Cuban hired Nico Harrison to run the front office of the Mavericks in 2021. Cuban has reportedly taken a smaller role within the front office in recent seasons.
