Mark Cuban: Demise of Warriors dynasty ‘really benefited the NBA’

Don’t get Mark Cuban wrong. The Dallas Mavericks owner isn’t dancing on the Warriors’ grave. But he’s excited about the NBA’s new level playing field.

Appearing Tuesday on a podcast hosted by former NFL quarterback Danny Kanell and Raja Bell, who played 12 seasons in the NBA, Cuban declared the league “wide open.”

“I think this summer, it really benefited the NBA,” Cuban said. “We went from the Warriors being a dynasty to being wide open.”

It’s true there are two sides to a dynasty. On one side, you have a standard-bearer doing things other franchises haven’t done for years.
