The more I think about this, the more I am ok with it.
I am not saying that because I think this is a great move. I am saying that because realistically what else can they do? No draft picks. Talent level needs a serious upgrade. Even if you get the best GM it will take 2-3 years to begin to clean up this mess. That would just be the start. Luka won’t wait for that.
So instead Cuban is going back to his Sammy Superstar approach. Only this time he might have a coach and a GM who have some relationship with players around the league.
I still think it is a long shot but given where they are due to years of mismanagement, no matter how slim, this might be the best chance to get a star and thereby keep Luka happy too. If it fails he is gone. But he would most likely be gone with a slow methodical rebuild too.
