Cuban: Dirk Would Never Ask for Trade

By HOOPSWORLD
Basketball News & NBA Rumors

Mark Cuban is well aware of the water-cooler conversation: Do the Mavericks owe it to Dirk Nowitzki to trade him if the franchise goes into full-fledged rebuilding mode?

“I’m not going to trade him,” Cuban said Tuesday on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM’s Ben and Skin Show.

But what if Nowitzki requested to be moved to a contender for the twilight of his prime?

“Maybe I’d have the conversation,” Cuban said. “But I know Dirk; he wouldn’t.”
