The Athletic: Inside the Mavericks front office, Mark Cuban’s shadow GM…

I'm not defending Donnie, because I think he's too comfortable sometimes. But it's like replacing a head coach, unless it's a total disaster (like IND?) you better make sure you have an improved replacement before creating the job opening.

Cato was not specifically advocating firing Donnie. Or keeping him, for that matter. 

However, he views the organization's performance over the past decade to be below an acceptable level, and believes, after digging, that this is primarily a front office issue. He views Mark's attempt at a solution by bringing in a new voice to have been so poorly implemented that it may have actually made matters worse. 

He views his job as reporting the facts, not as recommending a solution on his own. And apparently, there is no particular solution on the horizon that he can base any reporting on. 

Agree that it's not prudent to start firing people without a good idea of what you want to do about replacements.
