I have to disagree, KG. If you want to make changes you have to take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves. I don't blame Cuban in the slightest for trying to harness this. It's a very savvy thing to do, and it's how things get accomplished.

As for the charge rule stuff specifically, I don't see the problem. The team's trying to win, and they would be negligent if they didn't do everything possible within the rules of the game. Cuban and Nellie (who also feels that the charge rules should be changed, though his proposed solution is different) can lobby for the rules to be altered all they want, but unless the rest of the league decides they're going to voluntarily stop trying to draw these secondary charges I would neither ask nor expect the Mavericks to stop doing it on their own. Similarly, if they feel the rules should be changed, I don't see why they shouldn't try to get them changed.
