Seems like he's not trying...but on purpose. Either to get a better draft pick, because he doesnt care(I dont believe this to be the case), because he thinks Mavs are a few years away or because he is not professional.
Everyone seems to suggest that he is unprofessional and doesnt care...but I dont know about that. Maybe if I had more clarification on their draft assets and if tanking was reasonable or not. If he is giving a middle finger to the FO for trash roster...you better hope for miracle work from Nico or Luka is gone, imo.
Cuban isn't going to tank. Even if Luka isn't 100%, he's too good to let the team be awful enough for our draft position to matter. Cuban doesn't value the draft. Cuban's front offices have a dismal track record in the draft. I just don't see it.
We are also 7-4 which would be a pretty terrible job of tanking.
