He still has stake and remains continues to oversee basketball operations. This was Cuban. 

He also is quoted to have said “Defense wins Championships and that’s why they traded for AD” 

Overall it’s BS

There is no way that was the gm’s call, my own opinion that was lukas’

Luka most definitely didn’t ask for a trade. He’s loosing 100 mil on his contract. 

Went from 5y 345 mil to 4y 229 mil.. 

From 69mil/year to 57 mil/year

 

So i highly doubt he’d ask for a trade

Bamba released. Get him back, we need a 5th center! :P

Nah it was reported in June Cuban doesn't have control of basketball operations anymore. 

Cuban also said historically that he'd rather divorce his wife than trade Luka.

I believe this is the worst NBA trade I've ever seen. Incredibly bad. How did Dallas not get a haul for LD? Why did they not involve ALL the teams in the NBA in order to create a bidding war? Wow... wow... wow!!!

Also I'm a bad NBA fan this year. Am I the only one who didn't see that Zach Lowe got let go by ESPN in September???

It's a god damn tragedy that we didn't get a 90 minute Zach Lowe pod out of this trade. ***** ESPN.

That's exactly why I know! I went searching for that very thing a few minutes ago. Dude must be on a non-compete right now.

Anyhow as far as the Magic are concerned Luka is gonna take Reeves spot and they need a center. Would you give up Goga for Reeves?

WCJ is almost the exact amount of Reeves contract but we can't trade him because of that lame extension.

Yes, I would trade Goga for Reaves... I don't believe they'd do it, though. I'd probably throw a trade of Cole, Goga and a first for Vincent and Reaves at them and see if they'd bite.

[All Eyes On Me 1,327]

The WCJ extension and no trade clause for the year really kills us now. He’d be the next Magic big in Purple & Gold by the end of the weekend if we could deal him.

All I keep thinking is it's time to get our house in order. Our dudes need to learn how to play together again on both ends of the floor. No more excuses. Take pride and ownership and take that next step.
