Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is just like you and me! Well, maybe not quite. He’s worth $3.2 billion and owns a professional basketball team. But just like the rest of us, Cuban thinks that the Sacramento Kings are a dysfunctional basketball team. From SportsDay:
Matt Mosley: Seth Curry. …I know everybody looks at Steph and says, ‘Well I hope something’s rubbed off on Seth.’ When you look at his ceiling and look at what he could become, it’s not fair to say if he’s ever going to be Steph Curry. What’s the best version of Seth Curry that you could ever hope for?
Mark Cuban: A dysfunctional team in Sacramento at the end of the year he played team ball. He struggled some to stick within kind of a dysfunctional system. But when he got the minutes and when he started he put up great numbers. But more importantly, from a catch-and-shoot perspective he’s almost automatic from three. We really didn’t have that. We didn’t have that guy where situationally you just knew if you can get him open he was going to hit that open three. We miss that 42-43 percent three-point shooter. We just didn’t have it. We think we have that with Seth. I think it’ll make life a little bit easier for Dirk [Nowitzki]. It’ll allow us to push the ball more and I think it’ll make everybody’s lives a bit easier.
I guess this is the hope for every team signing an ex-King. “The Kings were dysfunctional, so this player that we just signed will be significantly better for us!” I’m not fully sold on a player like Seth Curry suddenly having a breakout year, but you never know.
