I spent a few seconds trying to imagine the timeline involved, and wondering why those three were at a chucky cheese type place at the same time. 

But then it occurred to me that they "banned" those guys because of them being hated among Mavs fans, and that they had never been there and wouldn't care a bit. Is that what happened? Please tell me that's not an actual story.

The sign had been up.several years but someone took a picture and it went viral...

I will not stand for George Karl slander lol
But 21 out of 27 seasons with a winning record (and another season where he was 500) for 6 different teams. 
#6 in all time wins. 

You don't do that as a bad coach. But he definitely wasn't an X's and O's coach which I think you almost have to be to win titles. But considering only 33 coaches have won titles it's hard to judge coaches entirely on titles.

I liked him with the Sonics, he just ran into Jordan.  He's a cancer survivor so I'll always respect that as that speaks personally to me.  I did not love the work he put in after the Sonics though.

All I know about George Karl, really, is that he's a lunatic on twitter.

SAC (1 Month)    

Divac Fired 8/14/2020
McNair Hired 9/16/2020

NO (2 Months)

Demps Fired 2/15/2019
Griffin Hired 4/17/2019 
Note:  Griffin hired Langdon a month later to be his GM.  Danny Ferry was interim GM during the search process and was a candidate for the job.

WASH (3.5 Months)

Grunfeld Fired 4/2/2019
Sheppard Hired 7/19/2019 
Note:  Sheppard was on staff and handled duties as interim.  His official hire came after the draft and free agency


One way we may get a clue as to how long this takes and how bad things are is if they announce an interim and if that person is Finley or someone from the outside.

So, the Mavs are following in the footsteps of Washington, NO, and Sac? Ugh

Who isn't a lunatic on twitter? That toxic app needs to die. 

In fact I think twitter might be a roundabout cause of Cuban's ego becoming so inflated that its killing the Mavs.

That is weird.  The Pacers seem to be a solid team but not a team with any real map to being elite.   He must really wanted to get out of Dallas.  I wonder if he took a paycut from Dallas to Indy as well.

They have really good pieces, at least on paper. Had extreme bad luck related to injuries the past two seasons.


RE: MAVS NEWS: DAL in search for new GM/president & coach - StrandedOnBeauboisHill - 06-24-2021

Really interesting move by the Pacers.

All these reports that Nate didn't get along with any of the players there.

All these reports that Rick didn't get along with the players here.

And the cycle continues?

He'll raise their floor for sure and get the most out of that roster, just kind of surprised is all.

Small raise. I think RC was getting paid about 7 mil a year here. That contract with the Pacers is a little bit more than that.


Also I think you can make an argument that the Mavs really wanted to get out from RC, given that his and Luka's relationship became untenable.
