The press conference lets everyone know that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The new boss is the same as the old boss. Mark is the bottom line. How do these guy move Mark off of his position? How well can they accept Mark undoing legwork they may have done while doing what they thought was their job? Donnie, apparently, was pretty good at working around his feelings. He was able to advocate for the Giannis but accept that Mark wasn't going to allow him to draft who he wanted to draft. Nellie either wasn't as good at it, or got to that place quicker than his offspring. The deal with allowing Nash to get away was Nellie's line in the sand. RC's line was Mark letting Donnie go. How quickly will JKidd go from, just glad to be here, to wanting more say-so? No telling what Nico's bottom line is or what his area of expertise is. They have to check their ego at the door because, I believe, Mark has the biggest one of the bunch, and the checkbook.
