To be fair, Cubes way did lead to massive success for about 11 years from 2000-2011. Mavs were the 2nd in win % behind only the Spurs (and number 3 LAL was WAY behind either of them).
Gave us 3 WCF berths and 2 finals appearances with 1 championship. Hindsight tells us they could have definitely had more, but that alone is more than most franchises.
Cuban is annoying. The writing on the wall screams for him to take a step back yet he digs his heels in the sand even further. But just because he's being obdurate doesn't mean the Mavs are automatically doomed.
