The Dallas Mavericks are one of the unique franchises in the NBA. While other franchises rarely see the ownership being involved, the Mavericks have a pretty proactive owner in Mark Cuban.

Cuban who has had his fair share of stardom for his entrepreneurial skills, has played a crucial role in determining the success of the Mavericks. While Dallas might not form super-teams like the Lakers or the Heat, they somehow always manage to stay one of the most competitive teams in the league.

The 7’3″ center who resorted to a perimeter based game last season struggled mightily. His passiveness certainly cost Doncic and Co. If Porzingis continues to disappoint, his time with the Mavs might be somewhat over. Will Cuban and the Mavs pull off a surprise move and finally let go off the Latvian?
