But Donnie was spineless and either let Cuban run all over him, backed down or couldn't convince him.

I think this is astute. 

My gut tells me that any "fire" for the job Donnie once had has long since dissipated. I still think Cuban is chiefly to blame for most of the dumbass things this franchise has done over the years, but Donnie's job was to convince Cuban not to do those things, so it's 100% fair to assume that he must've been a little too comfortable with failure to stay here so long, even if he disagreed with every misstep along the way (which doesn't seem likely).

Donnie wasn't the first GM in pro sports history to have to deal with a difficult owner, that's for sure. That's just part of it.
