The speculation still swirls anyhow, but not sure what else the Mavs could, or should, do to put it to bed. If the Mavs aren't open to the idea, its 1000% dead no matter who else likes it.
Agree. What is the Mavs FO supposed to say publically if the Knicks never ask to begin with.
"Just in case you guys ask about talking with our head coach, we won't let you?"
"and If you weren't going to ask, well.... never mind".
I don't think you make a public statement about a rumor. Actually not even a rumor. It's more like the knicks are sending a trial balloon.
