Cuban Accepts Blame For Mavericks' Failure To Make Playoffs, Vows To Rebuild
Mark Cuban accepted blame for the Dallas Mavericks’ failure to qualify for the playoffs this season.
"We obviously should have had more," Cuban said. "I don't know if we could have, but we should have. And so it's all on me. If that means I let (coach Rick Carlisle) down, I let Rick down.
"People always give me s---. 'Why do you put your email up on the screen? And why are you always out front?' This is why. So if someone's got a shot to take, take it at me. My job is to make sure we put everybody in position to succeed and we obviously didn't."
Cuban promised that he will quickly rebuild the Mavericks through shrewd decision-making.
"I'm not making any predictions," Cuban said. "All I'm saying is we're not going to do a traditional rebuild. That's (why) we got all this cap room, so we wouldn't. We're going to be opportunistic."
