Holger visits and the entire team cannot miss FTs for a couple of games. Miss those days.

But makes total sense from history that Nelson/Carlisle wanted Bey. Maybe we´ll get to see some more Green, Bey and Terry next year.
What analytics those even are? If it´s about shooting form, rlease point, release pace, maybe they should have consulted the math professor that wrote a whole software about the perfect shooting angle7motion and trained this weird German player, what was his name again.
I think Ribby Paultz was their draft scout
Just saw a report the Drum Line may have quit due to Bob telling them what to play...
Just listening to Tim McMahon saying that Carlisle treated Salah Mejri like sh*t, that he was his personal whipping boy and Luka hated that. I think we don´t need to worry about Luka´s social or leadership skills. This kid got a team of grown men from Slovenia and Real Madrid to follow his lead at age 17 and we are supposed to believe he´s the problem. Eh.
For the whole embarrassing mess this created, I think FA recruitment might have gotten a whole lot easier without Nelson/Carlisle, depending on whether the new GM/Coach are seen as IN-CHARGE. Internal promotions like Finley and Mosley probably won´t have any positive effect, because then people will just see the Culture of Cuban.
No need to stress about anything right now, until we know who the new GM and subsequently head coach will be.
Who cares if Porzingis is unhappy right now? We willl have a new GM and a new headcoach in a month. Everybody gets a fresh start, from Porzingis to the rookies. He might be traded in a month. He might stay, the new coach implements a different offense and suddenly Luka and him develop some on-court chemistry. Everybody is happy.

I get the criticism of Cuban. Airing the dirty laundry with Donnie, Carlisle, and Voulgaris is also appropriate at this point. And even finally opening up about KP seems fine -- no surprises there. Let's rip off the bandaid and get it over with.
But dogpiling on Josh Green who has done absolutely nothing wrong? Full stop. He deserves better. I have absolutely zero sympathy for a Mavs scouting department who is notoriously lazy with the draft suddenly singling out one pick that they swear they wanted more only with the benefit of hindsight. Do your jobs, or get bent. But leave the players out of it.

So whoever wants him, better pay some draft compensation.
Indiana 13th pick
Washington 15th pick
Boston 16th pick
Milwaukee 31st pick (and literally nothing else for years)
Portland has its own 2023 1st round pick
HELLO New Orleans
New Orleans 10th pick, all Lakers 1sts from 2022-2024 and all Bucks 1sts from 2024-2027
That will be the first job of the new GM. Get draft compensation for Carlisle.
Yeah, not going to happen.
You can't do it while you announced his departure, what are we going to do if whatever team he is going to coach said no ? Keep him as coach against his own well? They will call your bluff.
Never mind we don't know if he is going to coach next season, might take a season off.
I can't believe I'm this depressed about a stupid sports team. I haven't felt this way since the off-season after the championship.

Exactly...
And as a big time Rick supporter he didn't get along with either Luka or KP and a whole list of other players for years now.
KP's issues with Luka could be jealousy and frustration related due to RC not giving him respect in practice or frankly making sure he's maximizing his potential. I certainly don't blame KP for being frustrated. We all would be too. And KP also knows where he has to get better so he's not acting childish and thinking it's all someone else either.
Whats bad is Cuban is not the worst owner in team history...

I bet none of the worse owners thought they were the best owner in the league.

Yes, he had a lot of input with Rick on lineups. But if Voulgaris truly was dictating things, Green would have played way more than he did. So the idea of him being the guy in charge is overblown.
YEP, anybody with a brain would have played him honestly. I bet Green was caught in the power struggle. RC might have not played him just to spite him. If there was pettiness going around in the front office it would explain A LOT of the terrible decisions we all saw for the last few years.
