Being a shoe executive does not directly translate. 

LOL. I'm going to start keeping a tally of how often "shoe salesmen" is mentioned when you talk about Nico. :-)

They brought in a guy that knows nothing about being a NBA GM and suddenly most of the fan base is buying that things are fixed. To me, it seems an awful lot like the Cynthia Marshall hire. Let’s give someone else this title so the heat is off Mark Cuban. It’s hilarious how they keep parading her out at press conferences like she OKd the Kidd hire. 

Dog gone. This is Eeyore level pessimism! 

I don't know whether Nico will do well, but I'll give him a chance. He's done well enough at other stops that I don't see a reason not to give him a chance. And I like some things he's done so far. The proof either way will be in the results. But one thing is for sure. He's been successful enough in business that he doesn't need someone to "give him a title". 

Regarding Cynthia Marshall, I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. Cuban let his business office culture become toxic. Cynthia Marshall was an established executive who specialized in workplace culture. What's to criticize there? Kill Mark if you want to for letting things get so bad, but why be a jerk about the qualified CEO that he hired, who by all accounts, has actually fixed the mess that had developed in the business office. 

And what's with the "parading her around" talk? She is the CEO of the Dallas Mavericks. She doesn't need parading. I'm sure she goes where she needs to go to perform her duties as CEO.
