I think the more relevant question is this: if the Mavs miss the playoffs again, will the new owners continue to allow their team to pay luxury tax money? THAT is what we should be worried about, imho.
I'm not so sure that's true, but who knows? Ownership obviously didn't want to fire him immediately, since they signed off on the trade. Winning the lottery (literally) and landing Flagg brought back some fans and I'm sure made it easier for them to keep him for another season, but if (God forbid) AD goes down early in the season and this team wins 35 games, the public mutiny will be back on and somebody will need to be sacrificed.
