Cuban is more of a meddler with the GM (although not sure Carlisle was immune to the meddling). The Mavs totally had a Jason Garrett. His name is Donnie. Somebody Cuban likes and is comfortable with, but can override at will (apparently as long as he is not listening to a gambler instead). I think most peoples fear is that Cuban is going to make a comfort hire at the GM level (Finley) so he can continue to meddle in the GM affairs. I will be (very pleasantly) surprised if Cuban goes outside the org to get a GM, and especially a high profile one.
Considering Cuban has really only made 3 or 4 major hirings in 20 years (Jerry mades 3-4 HC changes in a decade alone), including Carlisle who came from outside the organzation, if he does hire a GM outside the organization I hope this cliche will finally die.
