I don't think the evidence points in this direction. What we know for certain is that Cuban must approve any decision where big money is being spent...but that would be typical of owners.
I think much fan-fiction has been dreamed up about the role of Cuban that just isn't true. And with the disorganization and chaos that happened on Donnie's watch, an environment was created where people have imagined a lot of false things about Cuban's involvement.
I am on the record stating that the issue in the last decade wasn't too much involvement from Cuban, but too little. That is my take on the snippets and pieces of truth we have.
