Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban hasn’t approved of many of the organization’s moves since he sold his majority stake in December 2023.
In 2025, Cuban criticized the organization for trading star guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for forward/center Anthony Davis (now with the Washington Wizards) in a disastrous deal. In March, he admitted he wouldn’t have hired former general manager Nico Harrison if he knew he would freeze him out of basketball operations and drive the franchise into the ground.
After going 26-56 this past season, the Mavericks have finally realized they should make choices that Cuban would support. That started Monday when Dallas lured head coach Dusty May away from the Michigan Wolverines.

The Mavericks and May agreed to a deal on Monday. He’ll replace Jason Kidd, whom the team fired in May. After the news broke, Cuban expressed optimism about the hire.
“He is an Indiana grad. I met him way back when he worked as a student manager and video coach,” Indiana Hoosiers alum Cuban said, via Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News. “I’m sure he will do a great job.”
