Chandler Parsons revealed Mark Cuban's shocked reaction to the Luka Doncic trade with the Lakers
When Mark Cuban purchased a majority stake in the Mavericks back in 2000, he was among the more involved owners in the league. It would be difficult to imagine any major move taking place without Cuban at least being aware of it.
But since Cuban sold his majority share of the team in 2023, Cuban has taken a significant step back. So much so that under the current ownership structure, he had no idea that the Mavericks were about the trade away franchise star Luka Doncic.
He was just as confused as the rest of us.
In FanDuels' Run It Back NBA show, Chandler Parsons -- a former Mavericks player -- revealed that he texted Cuban about the trade. And Cuban's reaction was so appropriate.
Chandler Parsons texted Mark Cuban about the trade:
"I texted (Mark Cuban), and I said, 'I'm so confused.' He wrote back, 'That makes two of us.’"

He said:
"I texted him, and I said, 'I'm so confused.' And he wrote back, 'That makes two of us.'"
It would be safe to assume that the trade wasn't happening if Cuban was still in charge, but times have clearly changed in Dallas.
