My analysis is that Cuban thought he was being given a seat at the table again, once Nico was finally booted out, but Dumont wasn't really interested in having Cuban in the mix. So Cuban has again found himself on the outside looking in, and because he's miffed, he's throwing rocks at those on the inside. I don't fully trust the content, because he clearly has an agenda.
There are too many traces going back to the Lakers championship team that make it clear Kidd was involved. The McGee signing, the Vogel hiring and the AD trade. There is no way Kidd was not involved in this. Kidd did not deny it either.
That being said Cuban is responsible for all this crap. He hired Nico. He hired Kidd. He sold to Dumont. He lost Brunson for nothing. Seems the only thing he remembers from the last 15 years is that he drafted Luka. Not a surprise considering it´s the only good thing he has done in the last 15 years.
This also means Kidd will coach to win against the Lakers. He´s so petty to put his personal feelings above the tank job. I also wonder whether this means the new GM will fire Kidd. I can´t see a Presti or Stevens working with him at all.
