How can a guy like Cuban be so successful in so many other fields and not learn from trial and error in this one?
Do we all really believe that Josh Green over Saddiq and Bane was Cuban's pick? The most frustrating part of that was that both of those guys fit the mold of successful recent Mavs pick-ups (DFS and Brunson). Moreover, a scout would have to think that Green had an astronomical ceiling indeed in comparison to his abilities at the end of '20 in order to think there was any possibility of his being better than Saddiq and Bane by the '22-'23 season. You know what it reminds me of the most? Samaki Walker. "What are our needs? Oh, this guy, whether he's good enough for what we're looking for or not." Shane Larkin a close second. But if Cuban is really Frank Zaccanelli, it really is a miracle that the franchise has done as well as it has the past 21 years (which aside from one single draft, is "not very well").
