Sure, Cuban has and will always give the final "go ahead" on all deals (AS IT SHOULD BE), but how the organization functions before that is the most important part. And hopefully that has massively changed for the better.
With little info outside this forum, I have a different take. But I can't point to specific comments or evidence to support my position. It just seems like, while Cuban was hands-off on most administrative issues, he was involved in all player personnel decisions and the "get it cheap" hat seems to fit. Going all the way back to when Nash signed with PHX because Cuban was going to low-ball him. Let the post-championship team walk because he thought dry powder was better than tradeable contracts. TBH, Dirk's loyalty allowed Cuban to get away with underpaying for years and I haven't seen anything to change my mind that there is a different MO.
Granted, they have paid KP and Luka, but because they were both out the door if not maxxed on schedule.
