No matter how much I dislike some of his shenanigans, this is my counter in support of Cuban.
Cuban is loyal to a fault. Maybe he tried the Bob thing because he saw the same flaws we all did but didn’t want to outright fire Donnie. But too many chefs in the kitchen was never going to work and led to this inevitable ending.
We say Cuban involves too much. However every owner will be involved in the big money signings or things to keep a true franchise level player happy. Cuban is not an exception there. The smaller signings and draft movement..no one can con convince me that Cuban was involved in that. Maybe he had an overall directive as far as a long term plan. However just taking the Giannis draft story. Maybe Cuban is upset that Donnie was not more forceful in convincing him to draft Giannis or even make some moves to free up a few dollars so that trading down was not needed. Every other GM seems capable of that.
The real issue here is that Cuban was probably too loyal. Maybe this is the moment Cuban gets a GM who is not just a buddy and is someone who is held accountable.
