On Feb. 2, the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. It was a shocking deal, and few felt that the Mavericks received enough in return for the then-25-year-old star. All it took in terms of draft capital was one first-round pick to land the five-time All-Star.

After the Dončić trade went down, it became clear that Cuban didn't hold the same power he had wielded for two decades in Dallas.
