Seems to me it’s Nico, even if MC kept Bob on the payroll, that doesn’t mean Nico will pay him any attention going forward. Leaving Bob on an island will soon get old for MC and I’d bet he goes with the bright new shiny toy’s direction if Nico does in fact not have the authority to reup Bob’s contract.
We don’t hear about MC’s man crush Parsons anymore, if Nico doesn’t want Bob and isn’t given the authority to not reup that contract, he has avenues to make MC realize Bob is not gonna work out here.
I didn't say I think Bob will stay. I actually expect he is gone.
As for the "shiny toys", I think that was a problem all along and I am affraid it will continue to be a problem. Bob wasn't the first case as you pointed out, and there is absolutely no guarantee he was the last. The way I see it - Cuban is not an owner who decides on general strategy and lets the man in charge execute it. He likes to be very involved in creating the plan and loves to take quick and unexpected decisions as they go along. Cuban loves his circle of trust and GM is not the only one he listens to. So it is totally possible GM will be overvoted on key decisions. It was like that before and nothing has indicated to me that it has changed now. Cuban actually said it is this way - he listens to guys and makes decision.
