Nico-player relations and free agency/trades
Fin- Drafting/scouting
Kidd- Coaching
All 3 have input and will give their ideas for roster direction which Cuban ultimately has the final say on. So at the end of the day the titles do not matter.
Maybe you're right about all of the above, but maybe not.
In the wake of everything that has come out about the organization over the past few years, going all the way back to the sexual harassment stuff, I'd say it's reasonable for fans to expect as much transparency as possible.
I don't want to rush to judgement on this, because I don't know how Brad asked the question, but geesh...I would think Cuban would WANT to point to a professional, working plan and say "see, Cato and Amick are morons." (without saying it, obvs)
EDIT: Maybe this will become more clear at the press conference.

Cato's latest pod says that he is being told that the matter of titles is still in flux. Harrison was announced only as GM, with no mention of the POBO vacancy. Said Mark has been coy on the matter. Would not be surprising if the front office hires aren't complete yet. Surprising that Fin wasn't given a promotion, but it still might happen.

Well, if the answer is "TBD" that's one thing, but I still don't know what the harm would've been in simply saying that.

Mark has to figure out Bob's title before he can settle on Nico's and Fin's

I'm not saying it wasn't a stupid answer.
Just adding another bit of reporting on the subject.

Why?
Nico's title will be GM and/or POBO. Finley's title will be POBO or VPOBO.
Bob's title will be Head Honcho of Analytics ("Director of Quantitative Research and Development") or AMF ("Adios, Mother").

Hey, sorry if I offended. Wasn't my intention. Internet tone is difficult to read, sometimes.
I'm 99% sure @"fifteenth" wasn't actually suggesting that Bob's title is the holdup (if there is one). But, maybe that's because I've known him for so long.

No problem, KL.
And I wholeheartedly agree that "Internet tone is difficult to read, sometimes."
And I am STILL not certain that fifteenth was joking when he wrote that "Mark has to figure out Bob's title before he can settle on Nico's and Fin's."

Really? In that case I challenge you to a battle of wits.
For the Prinncess? To the death? I accept.

Mark may be playing coy, but the marketing team is pretty direct.

I'm guessing the open issue is simply about Finley's official role and title in the new structure. We know he's a part of it, but maybe they're still working out the division of responsibilities.

Careful, @"Hogmelon"...
You're dangerously close to committing one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well-known is this: "never go in against @"fifteenth" when DEATH is on the line!"

Hey, does Cuban have a little Vicinni in him?
Nico must be the Man in Black
I wonder if we're bring back Fezzik!

1. I think you may be giving Cuban too much credit.
2. I hope Nico is the Man in Black!
3. Anybody want a peanut?

Meanwhile, Keith Grant has been promoted to BKMW ("Big Kahuna of Miscellaneous Whatnot").
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
