I love the Mavs. I have been very vocal over the years about my reservations regarding the “triangulation” of MBT as an impediment to ultimate team building success. I think there have even been instances of different MBT members almost working at cross purposes (Rondo trade, Giannis/Larkin draft fiasco)
I honestly think that a lot of this can be later at the feet of Cuban. I think he thinks he’s wayyyy smarter than he is. And I would imagine that guys like Riley and quite a few others laugh at his “basketball acumen” and “salesmanship” behind his back. He just tries way too hard. I truly appreciate Cubans loyalty, especially to Dirk. But if he really wanted to win he would fire Donnie this offseason, hire Masai and get the F’ out of the way. I just trust that his ego would never allow that.

I almost made a similar post to this. I believe much of the lack of success post 2011 is Cuban’s fault. He thought he could sell the greatness of Mark Cuban to the rest of the league, and they weren’t buying. Donnie wanted Giannis, but Cuban wanted to make Dwight Howard cartoons. At least he finally admitted that he botched the Steve Nash situation.
