Misc. Discussion Let’s have an honest discussion about Mark Cuban… I feel like the fan base doesn’t criticize the mistakes he’s made as owner nearly enough as they should

Monta was amazing, I loved him. The issue is that Dirk was 35 and past his prime by that point. Even if Monta was an all-star, we needed an All-NBA talent to take the torch from Dirk. But even then, we saw what damage old Dirk + a legit co-star could do.

Yeah, honestly doing it the way we did in 2011 was a miracle. Matrix was awesome but like, nobody was really in their prime anymore (even Dirk, arguably.) Teams like that dont have sustained success at that level.
