Apologize to Coach Rick

[audiosway]

It´s good that Carlisle is gone, because the talent level on this team for the last decade has been trash, and the combination of Carlisle + Dirk or Luka always guaranteed the Mavs a 1st round exit ceiling, light years away from actually contending. In reality the work done by the front office led by Cuban and Nelson deserved 10 years of actually missing the play-offs. They were easily a bottom five front office for a decade.

It´s not some bad trade, bad draft or a bad free agency decision either. It´s the whole structure and direction of  the franchise given out by the owner. It just stinks.

Carlisle being gone finally exposes these flaws. Carlisle wasn´t flawless himself, far from it, but he was very good.

Of course if they are healthy they are a good team. LeVert, Sabonis, Warren, Turner, Brogdon. Good talent.

I'm not glad he's gone. But, it definitely shows what many of us suspected for a long time. The talent level was just not that good. Rick was always able to turn it into a playoff team but that didn't mean it was good by any means. Cuban's direction of this team has been terrible.
