Skip only cares about narrative. He hates Luka because he is in Dallas and Cuban embarrassed the hell out of him on his own show after the 2012 finals. It is the same reason Dirk "isn't a top 50 player" and "Manu is better than Dirk". The only thing he hates more than Dallas is LeBron which makes 2011 a tricky pickle for him. Dallas didn't so much win the title as LeBron choked it away. He is the ultimate front runner but can't seem to let go of the bandwagon, thus his love of the Cowboys. I like Shannon, it is just too bad his media career ended up being the foil to Skip fucking Bayless.
Dallas is a great coaching opportunity. The real question is if it is a great opportunity to be a GM. Even if you can get Cuban to butt out, you are going to be responsible for the long term future of a potential all-timer with the Mavs. That could be a lot of fun if it works out but the pressure will be immense (to borrow a Skip phrase).
