If things go the same the only constant is Cuban (and you will be right and I will be wrong). But if things get massively better then we know that the problem was Donnie/RC and not Cuban (and I will be right and you will be wrong).Might I respectfully suggest that a search for the truth is unlikely to reveal that either (1) Cuban was 100% perfect and Donnie/RC were 100% trash, or (2) vice versa.
This is a complex situation, and the probability exists that every key person involved did some good things, but also contributed in some way to the problems.
Since we are examining a scenario where we know that a number of things have not gone as well as could be hoped, and are looking at the organization's attempts to improve, there will be an inherent focus for purposes of the discussion on mistakes that have been made. I don't think the circumstances really lend themselves well to an I'm right/you're wrong type of analysis.
Realize you may see it differently.
