There is HUGE division in the DAL front office (including coaching). Guys are speaking up to the media in an effort to grab power back and to try to fix the dysfunction.
I think worst case scenario is we do not see big changes in the front office and coaching this season. That could spell long term disaster.
Agreed. Some parts regarding Voulgaris may be exaggerated, who knows. But ultimately, there is friction between how the front office is being run. It's probably been like this for years (going back to Gersson Rosas) but now it's at a breaking point.

Those concerns mostly center on Cuban and the decisions he makes regarding who he trusts and imbues with power. Sometimes, it’s examples like Voulgaris, a sports gambler with no league experience being given near total control of the team’s roster. Other times, it’s the relationships he doesn’t sever: The Mavericks’ front office has come to be known around the league for its long-existing power structure that, Voulgaris aside, has barely changed.
