Dallas Mavericks: Billion-Dollar Discussions Surround Potential Ownership Changes
Dallas, TX – March 19, 2025
The Dallas Mavericks are once again at the center of significant ownership discussions, with reports indicating potential changes valued in the billions. This development comes just over a year after the Adelson and Dumont families acquired a majority stake in the franchise from Mark Cuban in December 2023.
In the previous transaction, casino magnates Miriam Adelson and her son-in-law, Patrick Dumont, purchased a 73% stake in the Mavericks at a franchise valuation of approximately $3.5 billion. Cuban retained a 27% ownership share and continued to oversee basketball operations.
The current discussions are reportedly driven by the Adelson and Dumont families’ interest in exploring strategic opportunities to enhance the franchise’s value and global reach. While specific details remain undisclosed, sources suggest that these talks could lead to a partial sale of their stake or the introduction of new investors.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has previously commented on the Mavericks’ ownership structure, acknowledging the Adelson-Dumont group’s commitment to the team’s success. However, the recent on-court challenges, including the controversial trade of franchise star Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers and subsequent team performance issues, have sparked debates about the franchise’s direction under the current ownership.
As discussions progress, stakeholders and fans alike are keenly observing how potential ownership changes might impact the Mavericks’ future, both on and off the court.
