He continually gets the benefit of the doubt from a lot of Mavs fans, myself included, but what has he actually done to deserve it? His interventionism and conviction that he is the smartest guy in the room has consistently worked against the Mavericks. He didn't play a role in the two biggest decisions in franchise history (drafting Dirk and drafting Luka) other than OK'ing a trade up to get Luka. We are successful as a franchise because Donnie drafted those guys. Other than that he has been worse than mediocre, he has been a bumbling fool and underrated cheapskate who consistently fails to make the right decision. Let's take a look at his actual track record:
(2004) Let Nash walk
(2011) Broke up championship squad
(2012) Not present at free agent meeting with Deron Williams
(2013) Passed on Giannis to save $400k
(2018) SI breaks story about Mavs culture of sexual harassment
(2021) Cato breaks story about conflict in the Mavs front office
(2022) Fails to sign Brunson to 4/ $55m extension
Our roster isn't the best and Kidd isn't the best coach, but those are symptoms of the disease that is Mark Cuban. Sell the team Cuban.
