There are many reasons why the Dallas Mavericks spiraled out of playoff positioning in the second half of this season, but former Mavs guard and recent Hall of Fame inductee Tim Hardaway Sr. is placing the blame on the team’s lack of leadership from Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

Hardaway, who is the father of current Mavs shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr., went on FS1’s The Carton Show to explain why the Mavs have faltered this season.

"That trade wasn't for them, what isn't broken doesn't need to be fixed,” Hardaway said, referring to the Mavs’ trade for Irving before this year’s deadline. “They're missing a leader out there. Luka is not a leader, Kyrie is not a leader. Jalen Brunson was a leader."
