I don't think it's impossible to succeed the way Cuban runs things, but I do think the approach makes some things much, much more difficult.
I really think Cuban's doomed the franchise. Almost everything that comes out about ownership, Delonte West aside, is really negative. Worse yet is that I don't believe Cuban is self aware enough to realize what he's turned the franchise into.
There are very few destination franchises in the NBA. Props to Riley for what he's done with the Heat and putting them into the big three along with the Lakers and Knicks though I do think the Knicks have eroding appeal.
