It’s pretty natural to think when there is a big change like the GM being replaced that anything that seems a bit contrary to what had been happening is the new guy putting his stamp on things while the status quo is at least as much about those who haven’t left as it is him, if not more. I myself lumped Finley and even Dirk as a consultant as part of keeping the status quo.
Not really a crusade. I just think its interesting that when things go well its Nico, and when the shit hits the fan its Cuban (or a generic FO). I also disagree that the FO is Nico. It's the entire organization with Cuban and Kidd being a big part of it, and when things don't go well its generally suggested that its because of Cuban (like he is tying Nico hands with tax limitations). I'm not even saying this sentiment isn't true most of the time. My primary point is that our FO issues have always been Cuban and I have been skeptical from the beginning that he hired somebody with no NBA experience because he was going to step down and hand over the reins to somebody else.

I think the missing part is the what they aren´t communicating. The number one priority. Limiting tax spendings (in a best case scenario avoiding the tax).
Do you think they told Dragic they had no minutes for him because they don't want to spend the tax on a large vet min contract?
