The bolded part above in your post is so key. We have now learned the reason Mosley was so integral alongside RC was because RC is so bad at personal relationships and player treatment. RC in a sense was just another version of Voulgaris. I think in this day and age the single most important coaching skill is interpersonal relationships. RC is a good coach in so many ways, but his greatest weakness was what is needed most here with Luka (a sensitive people person) and KP (a sensitive introvert).
It also shows the catastrophic judgment of Nelson and Cuban. Now it sounds like JJB was basically an intermediary between Doncic/Carlisle, that somewhat kept the whole situation from escalating in previous years. Cuban/Nelson weren´t even aware of the problem and opted for Burke over JJB. If we analyze the absolute inability of this team to play-make without Luka, it was also an awful basketball decision, but certainly an even worse roster construction decision.
