DALLAS—Saying that every team deserved access to effective and affordable players, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban announced Wednesday the launch of a company to help NBA owners save millions on generic free agents.
“Let’s face it: Not every team has the money to afford a brand-name player like LeBron James or Giannis Antetokounmpo and still develop a strong backcourt or enough strong rotation players. It’s sad to see a team like Dallas or Houston paying these huge bills for big-name players when there are generic guys who are just as good at rebounding or defense but who don’t cost an arm and a leg.
