Guess that means Finley wasn't one of the sources...unless he's "playing the game" and doing it well

Thank you Donnie.

I am open to that because I could see someone like Voulgaris being INCREDIBLY effective if given full reins and decision making is streamlined, but I definitely PREFER an outside voice being given full authority at this point.

If Vulgurass was the source of the Green-over-Saddiq pick like we've heard, then he doesn't know a basketball from his butt or a hole in the ground, and his being named GM is cause for Mavs fan seppuku.

Watching Atlanta go up 3-2 basically because they added all the players around Trae that the Mavs should have signed or traded for last year (yeah, yeah - if they could), is really hard...it was a no brainer to try for a couple of those I think. Then for Masai Urji to be coming off his contract in a franchise that is on the way down...for Danny Ainge, who has a longstanding relationship with Carlisle, to be unemployed...either one of those guys makes a WHOLE lot of sense here....too...much...sense. I mean, even Jerry West... It feels like we just didn't want to go the extra mile to get Gallo, Bogdan and Lou Williams or Capela for that matter...then to not pick up or at least give SERIOUS consideration to those proven GMs just sitting there with no job... I mean, man, come on. The Mavs may do that, but if it takes a month and a half to get a GM in place, and we are starting to figure out what to do in late July...oh my word, I'll have to really talk myself off that ledge of frustration.

Do you really want to start this off with 2 strikes against you?

You hide him behind the likable persona of Finley. Don't let Voulgaris see the light of day as far as the players. Just let him be the silent observer. Keep him in check, but let him really guide the team building process. Again this is IF you believe in him. I am not saying I do, but the man could be a genius for all I know.

The hit rate will increase by maybe 5%, which will seem small, but in the long run will make a HUGE difference with winning.

Are you saying "analytics guy" = a 5% increase of hits in the draft (maybe)? So in other words, you think that whoever the BEST drafter in the league is, they must be an analytics guy? Just trying to understand you.

I'm not insulting Luka's intelligence by going the "there's nothing to see here" route. I don't know Luka personally, but I would not like it. You fire the guy I like and you keep the guy I don't, and try to pretend he isn't there. Voulgaris simply cannot be the only analytics guy that can do what we ask him to do. Luka IS the only guy that can do what Luka does. That's a risk I wouldn't take, but then again, neither of us are close enough to the situation to know for sure. Hope they choose wisely.
