Regretting the sale after just 3 years? Cuban might repurchase the Mavericks, while Dumont or Flagg refuse to sell

On February 10th Beijing time, reporter Stein revealed that an undisclosed Dallas investment firm intends to collaborate with Mark Cuban to reacquire the Mavericks from Patrick Dumont.

In 2023, Cuban sold the majority ownership of the Dallas Mavericks to Patrick Dumont. Following that, the Mavericks made it to the NBA Finals, but major personnel shifts took place in the team’s management after the season.

At that time, the Adelson family acquired nearly 73% of the team's shares, while Cuban retained 27.7% ownership after the sale. Miriam Adelson, the major shareholder of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, is connected to this deal, and Patrick Dumont has since served as the team’s leader.

A source close to Dumont told Stein, “The family remains excited about the team’s future and the upcoming Flagg era.”

Since selling his shares, the Mavericks reached the NBA Finals but lost to the Boston Celtics. Subsequently, Dallas made shocking moves by trading away superstar Luka Dončić and then, at the recent NBA trade deadline, also trading Anthony Davis.

The biggest question now is whether the Dumont family is willing to sell part of their stake, as they might be reluctant due to Flagg quickly proving his talent.

So far this season, Flagg averages 20.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. He once scored 30+ points in four consecutive games, including a career-high 49 points.
