I get the vibe that Cuban has been spending more and more time on outside political and business ventures and less time with the team. The resulting leadership vacuum could have actually been a key contributor to the chaos on the business side (pre-Cynt) and the destructive power struggles on the basketball side. I know it goes against the popular narrative, but the core problem might not be too much Cuban but too little. Or more directly, not enough leadership at the top.
Now one could certainly argue that it would be better if Cuban ceded that leadership control to a strong executive. But in the absence of that, I think another good option is for him to outsource some of his other pet hobbies like his relentless crypto promotion and focus on leading the team. It's the partial attention that I think is hurting him most.
Maybe the last few years you are right....
But we didn't hear about his big plans like Plan Powder or him straight up overruling Donnie in the draft until after 2011.
