Jason Kidd OUT! Who will be the Mavs' next HC?

[KillerLeft]

It doesn't seem like they are looking at big names.  It seems like they are looking at assistant coaches (which has been Masai MO in the past).  Probably a very attractive opportunity for one of those guys.

I'm not meaning to push back on this particular point, but generally speaking I think we're overthinking with all of this "Ujiri MO" stuff...who's "an Ujiri guy," etc.

1) He's been out of the game for a while, watching, learning, reinventing himself. 

2) It's not a one-man job. Unless it's the ENTIRE Toronto front office, it's probably not a good idea to assume we understand how he/they are thinking. I'm sure their process is collaborative, at least to an extent. 

3) Maybe most importantly, Dallas is not Toronto. Some Americans would be thrilled for an opportunity to live there, and I'd guess a lot Europeans hoping to get into the NBA might find it really attractive as a lifestyle, but the vast majority of players and even coaches don't really want to go there, honestly. Even something as simple as getting in an out of the country on road trips adds a level of ball ache to their lives that they'd much rather avoid, if possible. Plus, it's cold there, and basketball is a winter/spring sport. 

Point being: I really, really don't think any of us have the foggiest of notions what happens next, with any of this stuff. Smart guys like you will figure out how the new front office thinks after a while, but I'd be careful making predictions based on anything that happened in Toronto. Ujiri very likely made choices from a smaller pool of people he thought he could get to be semi-happy to liver there at every turn.
