A few things:
1) I listened to a lot of interviews from Schmitz while he was at draft express and ESPN and found him pretty interesting. He is pretty boring on the other side. He doesn't give much away. Not a lot to take a way.
2) I thought the Mavs would make a trade this offseason but thought they would take a slower approach on roster construction, but I have listened to 3-4 interviews from him since he was hired and the only two players he has mentioned by name are Coop and Kyrie. I find that a little odd. He has mentioned both Coop and Kyrie a lot. I didn't listen to the whole thing today but I didn't hear him mention anyone else.
3) No surprise, but this is Masai's vision. I think Schmitz is the worker bee, but the vision will be incorporated by Masai.
4) Schmitz like Tex-Mex. LOL

VERY informative. Schmitz Q&A style incredibly impressive. It feels like he is trying to INFORM with his answer to questions, and educate a bit, rather than just offer up some sound bites for writers to pick through and try to glean something to write about.
His comments about Kyrie were very interesting, and about the polar opposite of the views of him I commonly hear in Mavs fandom.
