Yeah, the Mavs have been great at nabbing free agents since Cuban took over. Oh wait... no, they've actually been terrible.
I guess they can claim that the players on the roster actually want to stay here... that is if you exclude all-star point guards and future league MVPs.
The best thing that I can say about Cuban is that his heart is in the right place. He genually cares about the team and is willing to invest financially in it... which is actually a legitimate gripe against Perot and Zachanelli.
But don't get dedication confused with competence. Perot may not have cared as much as Cuban appears to. But he may have been better at his job.
