However, when you say:

I can't help but snicker. There's a certain point-guard right-man-for-the-job who is cashing his checks off a different account these days.

Cuban clearly had a pretty bad judgement on that one. Go ahead and paint me naive but I don't think Cuban thought he was the right man for the job....... or he'd have ponied up the dough.
And Cuban paid Avery what Avery wanted because he thought he was the right man for the job. And he didn't bitch about it. In fact, he renewed his contract ahead of time.
