He is still for now the only Coach I want to be running the Mavs...he will maximize the talents of Luka and KP and be able to punish them for not giving maximum effort which I don't think would happen...
Well to try to play devil's advocate, if Carlisle turns in at least 2-3 underwhelming seasons with KP and Luka at the helm I can see him easily being fired.
I think that duo should net 50 wins easy by year 2. If the Mavs aren't hitting that then Carlisle can (and should) be definitely looked at to be replaced.
However, I doubt that'd happen because Carlisle is still a great coach, and with just Luka he managed to lead the Mavs to 33 wins. RC is apart of the Mavs triangle because he's great at what he does.
