I have to put Perot at the bottom for now, although he only owned the team for ~ 4 years?
The Dumont era is a mixed bag to start. Last season's injury marathon makes any real evaluation problematic. This season will be a report card on the current management team.
Nelson had the franchise turned around. Dirk, Nash and Finley were in place. Cuban's infusion of money helped. His meddling hurt, like when he brought in Rodman to sell tickets. Cuban's ego is a negative, in my opinion. He caused Nash to leave for nothing. Probably also spurred Nash to improve his conditioning to prove Cuban wrong. Cuban's thinking he knew more about basketball than he did, turned me off.
