The NBA world was left stunned when the Dallas Mavericks let their star man move to the west coast.

In exchange, the Texans received Lakers ace Anthony Davis.
But the secrecy of the deal caught everyone by surprise.
And nobody was more shocked than former Mavs owner Cuban.
He bought the Dallas side in 2000 before selling it two years ago to Patrick Dumon and the Adelson family.
Now, former Mavs star Chandler Parsons lifted the lid on his exchange with Cuban over Doncic’s swap with Davis.
He revealed that Cuban was in total shock over the deal, with the Mavs former owner famously once saying: “If I had to choose between my wife and keeping Luka on the Mavs, catch me at my lawyer’s office prepping for a divorce.”
Parsons told Run It Back: “I texted him (Cuban). “And I said, ‘I’m so confused.’ And he wrote back, ‘That makes two of us.’
“So that kind of tells you right there — he wasn’t involved.
“By the way, this new ownership — Patrick Dumont and the Adelson family — are business people, right? They’re Vegas casino and real estate moguls. They know nothing about the NBA or basketball.
“So they’ve fully given Nico (Harrison) the keys to make decisions and bold moves like this.
“I believe Mark. I think this is just as much of a shock to him as it is to all of us…
“I texted him, and he literally said, ‘That makes two of us.’
“So he’s probably just as shocked as we all are.”
