You're right on target with this take, and every time you write it you highlight a new detail that makes me agree even more.
I DO know about Finley, as do many of us around here. This franchise owes him a TON.
But THIS is a chance for Cuban to shut everyone up and help the franchise inch closer to a seat at the grownups' table. He needs to hire a SERIOUS hombre for GM and let them start being the face of the front office. Right now people in this subculture look at the Mavs like the organization is an idiot billionaire's toy, because THAT'S WHAT IT IS. You don't get 5-6 championship banners that way. Perception matters.
This is not a time, imho, to give someone a "chance" at GM or head coach. This is a time to collect PROS, and plenty of them will want to be part of Luka's era.
