Mavericks owner Mark Cuban did a live chat with fans for the Dallas Morning News on Tuesday.
Cuban touched on a wide range of topics, from re-signing Jason Kidd, the team's depth behind their starters, the ability to deal some of their extra players and the acquisition of Shawn Marion.
One fan pointed out that Marion's production appears to have decreased in recent years.
"We don't think Shawn's production has declined at all. He went from a run-and-gun team with a push-it-up point guard, to walk-it-up teams that played in the half court," Cuban responded. "Even with that the case, and plays still not being run for him, he still managed to have a big impact on the game on both sides of the ball.
"Just as importantly, Shawn hears and reads everything saying he struggled. He wants to prove everyone wrong, which i think is a beautiful thing."
