For 24 years, Mark Cuban was one of the most recognizable owners in sports. After selling off his majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks to the Adelson and Dumont family, the outspoken Cuban is on the outside looking in of team affairs, which was made clear by February's stunning trade of Luka Doncic.

Cuban did not have much advanced notice of the deal, according to NBA insider Marc Stein, and was too late when he urged general manager Nico Harrison to back out of the deal. The trade also made clear that Cuban no longer manages the team's basketball operations, something that had been reported around the time of the sale.
