But it doesn't matter now.
Move on.
How about no until he admits he was an idiot to believe he had basketball expertise and therefore failing to listen to his basketball men rather than trusting his completely inept armchair GMing? How about no until he apologizes in complete humility for screwing up Nash, Giannis, round one of VAJ, etc. rather than listening to the competent basketball men he had working for him? How about no until he apologizes for hiring a narcissistic and probably racist (anti-Euro) shoe salesman so that he could continue to play real world shadow GM with a franchise which Dirk and Luka had given their blood sweat and tears to and to which fans of equal basketball expertise to his had dedicted enormous amounts of time, money, and emotional investment? I could go on. I’m not asking for a pound of flesh. I’m just asking for recognition that his attitude and actions were completely and binarily wrong. Until then, there’s no reason to drop it while he is still showing up in Mavs-related news where he absolutely doesn’t belong.
This is one of the reasons I sometimes get a bit antagonistic with you - at times you come across as defending the binarily indefensible - or, what would be binarily indefensible to nearly 100% of committed and knowledgeable Mavs fans.
