I'm glad to see new blood (new to DAL anyway) running the team. I was a little worried when Cuban got firmly pushed aside for any team governance in favor of Dumont, who is a total outsider. But if he's smart enough to put the right management team in place, then I think we can all take a breath.
Based on nothing whatsoever, I feel like Cuban, post-2011 trophy, was all about managing cash flow. Even prior to 2011, he was playing salary games, Nash being a case in point. I also remember Cuban talking about how deep playoff runs actually made the team run in the red, financially. Once he felt vindicated with a championship, he was not as motivated to put a contender on the court. If not for loyalty to Dirk, I think he would have taken it down to the studs for a low cost rebuild.
