If he really was as convinced he easily could have found a way to open up the caproom without trading down. But he didn’t so how can this be brought up in his favor. I don’t buy this story at all. Just another way to make Donnie look better than he is.
This!!!!.
Cuban did not care for Giannis or Shane Larkin. What he wanted was the ability to give Dwight the max. The difference between the 13th and 17th pick is not much given that capable GMs are able to move even massive contracts if needed. I have always felt that Donnie has got a free pass on the Giannis story.
If Cuban really thought like an owner he would have fired Donnie just on that basis. However he wants a puppet. So he puts out that story as if that reflects positively on Donnie when IMO it just makes it worse.
