Really glad to read that report from MacMahon. If Dumont is personally involved in the decision to allow AD to play that tells me a lot.

First, it answers a question we've all been asking. Does Dumont even care? This combined with the report from Stein tells me he does.

Second, there must be a reason why Dumont doesn't want AD to play when AD himself thinks he's ready to go.

I don't think Dumont is an idiot but I also don't think he knows what he's doing in running a basketball team. He's being advised by someone outside of the organization and at this point I don't care if it's Cuban; Bain or McKinsey; the ghost of Red Auerbach; or Dirk himself. He has to be looking at options and that's a good thing.

FIRE NICO

If he does pull the trigger on Nico, my guess is he goes with a comfort hire.  My biggest fear is he moves Kidd into that position.  That is why I am hoping for Linsey.  He has GM experience, recent experience with this FO, and is associated with most of the good and none of the bad regarding recent FO decisions.
