Cuban's cryptic post sparks NBA trade rumors
14 Jun
Summary
- Mark Cuban posted a clip of Jamal Murray, causing fan speculation.
- Cuban clarified he has no current affiliation with the Mavericks.
- Nuggets might consider trading Murray, but rumors suggest otherwise.
NBA social media buzzed after former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban shared a mysterious clip of Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray from a 2023 NBA Finals game. The post, featuring a fastbreak dunk by Murray, prompted widespread fan speculation about potential trade scenarios between the Nuggets and the Mavericks.
Cuban swiftly diffused the rumors by stating he has no ongoing affiliation with the Mavericks organization since his departure. He emphasized "nothing, nada" ties to the team's basketball operations. This clarification aimed to quell any assumptions about insider information or impending moves.
Despite Cuban's disclaimer, the post occurred amidst ongoing speculation about the Nuggets' offseason plans. While Nuggets executive Josh Kroenke indicated that all players outside of Nikola Jokic could be considered for trades, recent reports from NBA insider Jake Fischer suggest that neither Jokic nor Murray are expected to be traded. Thus, Cuban's post is largely viewed as a non-event, fueled by offseason boredom and hypothetical trade considerations.
