Exactly. Under this conditions every GM, president, fieldmarshall, viceroy or whatever titles the employees have is in reality a consultant. Only under this conditions it is possible that a full time GM advice gets overruled by a current favorite consultant/friend. The ability to convince is more important than amount of work behind it. That's why no serious top guy will come work under this conditions.
Instead of having a full time professional working his butt off day and night, Mavs have an owner who is invested in about 100 other things in his life, part timing as GM. There is absolutely no way this can lead to better results than a well run organization. All it can lead to is a struck of luck here and there, as evidenced. Even that prick Dolan in NY seemed to understand things have to change and gave some smart people control.
