They might delegate some of those chores, but they might not.
That's what MC has done. That's who he's been. Don't doubt it - no one close to the team for any amount of time will tell you otherwise. It's been fairly obvious.
This has not been my impression from the things I have read. As just one example, if Cuban was the guy you described above then why did opposing GMs not know who to call or talk to with trade negotiations?
You might have some inside info I don't have. But from the articles I have read I haven't gotten the impression of Cuban filling the roles you described above. If you have something for me to read that shows this I would be very happy to change my opinion on this. I have no vested interest in my current opinion other than it makes sense of what I have seen (and I am just a fan with no other insight than that).
