Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban shared his thoughts on the big signings in the 2019 free agency, noting that he's happy with the player movements and formation of new superteams.
In an interview with the Dallas Morning News, Cuban expressed his delight tthat the league now has several super teams comprised of just two superstars.
“In terms of the movement, I think it's great for the NBA. Now instead of having one super team that everybody is trying to beat and then LeBron's an attraction, now we've got a bunch of super teams. And even those super teams only have two superstars. None of them really have three that I've been able to count. It takes a little bit of luck and it takes building a team.”
Cuban was referring to the Miami Heat team of 2010 to 2014 which had three superstars in LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. After which, it was the Golden State Warriors who went on to recruit superstars in their already-powerhouse squad. Last year, the Dubs housed a total of five All-Star-caliber players in Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and DeMarcus Cousins.
Now, it seems that the era of the superteam is over. Some say that it all started with Kawhi Leonard's decision to join the LA Clippers instead of the Lakers where he would've teamed up with James, Anthony Davis and a budding star in Kyle Kuzma.
If Cuban's observation is true, then the 2019-2020 season may be the most competitive season in recent history.
