Owners have the "final say" in big decisions but they dont really play GM like Cuban. I dont understand how you dont understand what Cuban and Jerry Jones are doing is VASTLY DIFFERENT from most owners.
A real GM will go to an owner and say "hey we're about to trade for this guy with a big contract? is that ok with you financially?" Or "Mr. Buss Kobe and Shaq cant get along. We have to trade one. Your thoughts on which one?"
For the Mavericks, 90% of the organization puts in the leg work and decides Saddiq Bey should be the pick. Then Bob whispers to Cuban and Green is the pick blindsiding everyone.
Or the GM puts in the legwork to sign Andre Iguodala. Then Cuban decides at the last second he wants to show cartoons to Dwight Howard instead.
Donnie puts in the legwork to draft Giannis. Then Cuban decides he needs the cap space to pursue a free agent.
Do you think Steve Balmer or Joseph Tsai do any of these things? Based on everything that's come out in the last few months, Cuban might be worse than Jerry Jones.
