Report: Dallas Mavericks Will Be First in Line to Sign Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Dallas Mavericks have one of the brightest stars in the league in Luka Doncic, to go along with a great complimentary piece in Kristaps Porzingis. It sounds like that's not enough for owner, Mark Cuban.

The Mavericks do have some quality pieces they could offer the Bucks for the 'Greek Freak', but it's unlikely at this point Milwaukee is even entertaining the thought of losing their superstar. Cuban and company in Dallas may have to wait until free-agency to make their pitch. Playing in the west, in Texas with two great players including MVP candidate Doncic, could appeal to Antetokounmpo.  

"They want to keep their books clear for 2021. I wouldn't expect them to add any major free agents this year. They're going to wait" - @WindhorstESPN #NBA #NBATwitter #TheJump #MFFL https://t.co/UkMuZOjR1A

Mark Cuban loves to spend money, but does he speak any Greek?
