Mark Cuban got into a heated argument with a former Dallas Mavericks employee on Facebook, revealing some very interesting details about his Mavs exit.

The Dallas Mavericks fanbase is still broken apart after the franchise traded Luka Doncic away to the Los Angeles Lakers in February.

While everyone has their sticks out for Mavs GM Nico Harrison and Governor Patrick Dumont, former team owner Mark Cuban has been receiving a lot of hate for selling the team to Dumont and Miriam Adelson, with everyone understanding Cuban would never do this to Luka.

Despite having no control over the decision, fans continue attacking Cuban for the Doncic trade. He seemingly had enough, getting into a heated Facebook argument with the former Mavericks’ event and venue manager, Gavin Mulloy.

Gavin Mulloy: “Go dig up his quotes on the responsibility of an owner of a franchise and being a Shepard of a franchise, to sell to the Adelsons flies in the face of that. He did this to get casino $$.”

Gavin Mulloy: “Who hired Nico….Cuban. he has blood on his hands here, he’s just doing better damage control than Mavs”

Mark Cuban: “Did I miss your complaints when we went to the finals last year? How upset were you then?”

After a few more exchanges, Cuban slammed Mulloy for not complaining about the sale to the new owners when Mark gave all Mavs employees a bonus before explaining how dealing with rabid fans is one of the main reasons why he sold the franchise.

Mark Cuban: “Hey Gavin Mulloy how much of a bonus did you get when I sold ?”

Gavin Mulloy: “Not enough to make up for the Luka trade. I’d give your dirty $$ back for Luka to be here, how about you?”

Mark Cuban: “Gavin you didn’t say a word when it showed up in your account. Did you? Sure looked good when we made it to the finals didn’t it? I did every damn thing I could for 23 years. Kept prices lower than not only any NBA team, but lower than college teams too.

I had $2 tickets for multiple years. When I sold there were always 4k tickets under $29. I made money 2 out of 23 years I was the majority owner. Lost hundreds of millions of dollars.

And you kept on collecting your salary. So my $dirty dollars didn’t get a peep out of you those 23 years? Or when you got your check every two weeks? Or when you got your bonus? Go back to what I said when I sold the team. I didnt want my kids and family to have to deal with people like you. I honestly got tired of the growing number of fans who became pricks on social media.

People exactly like you. I paid your salary. I paid you a bonus I didn’t have to give you. The Nico and the new owners do something none of us liked and you decide to try to f**k with me. Thank you for confirming I made the right decision.”

Cuban would then drop the shocking revalation that the NBA refused to let him get something in writing to ensure he’d have operational control over the team.

As a result, the new owners didn’t honor their word that Cuban would have the final say on basketball decisions with that responsibility shifting to GM Nico Harrison.

Mark Cuban: “Gavin actually I fully expected to run basketball. The nba wouldn’t let me put it in the contract. They took it out. Just like they won’t let the Celtics put it in.

I thought they would stick to their word because they didn’t know the first thing about running a team. Someone obviously changed their mind But that’s in the past. Life is too short to deal with thousands of people like you.

It used to be fun engaging with the fans , win or lose, we wanted what was best for the Mavs. We shared in the good and bad. There was always some level of optimism. Even after disappointment Then the whole “get Luka some help “ nonsense started.

Non stop online. Then it seemed like it turned into more fun for people to complain than to enjoy the Mavs or the nba Between dealing with the nba and their idiocy and fans like you, it wasn’t worth the non stop shit.

Why would I want to keep on losing that much money so I could take shit from people like you , and then my kids could take over and get shit. Why would I do that to them ?I mean I literally left 40m plus on the table so that I could reward the people who worked for the Mavs.

Never really thought I would get shit for it. Live and learn. I love the game and the Mavs. But It’s a lot more fun to just be a fan. I was a fan when Perot owned the team. I can be a fan now. MFFL”

Cuban has deleted most of his comments since, but his revelations can’t be ignored. He is sick of the cruel nature of sports fans and the hate he has received over the years despite always trying to do the best he can for the Mavericks.

Mavs fans definitely would do anything to go back to having Cuban as an owner, even if it meant 11 years of mediocrity again like they went through from 2011 to 2022.

Anyway, the mediocrity might be back anyway with the Mavs’ short-sighter roster moves such as acquiring Anthony Davis for Luka and also trading Quentin Grimes away as a salary dump.

The future is cloudy and it seems the only real victims here are Mavericks fans.
