wow mavs front office carnage

they were doing such a good job too, weird

lol

mavs should be thinking about masai

between this shit and the sexual harassment scandal who knows if reasonable people even want to work there though

all things considered cuban will spend money and they have the most valuable longterm franchise piece in the NBA it should be a pretty attractive job

if hell let you do it, the "whoever has cubans ear is the most powerful person in the org" part of the harlabob article is pretty damning if true, type of situation people who know whats up stay away from

cubans intense involvement in the team is already a red flag, obvs ownership is going to want to sign off on big moves but you really dont want to be assistant gm to the owner

i'm sure cuban will find the "data point" who's right for the organization

id back up the truck for masai if i were him, agree to move my seat away from the mavs bench and so forth

yeah that would be incredible for them.

i think it’s one of those things where there’s so few GM jobs, and so many of them are taking over rosters in terrible shape, the ability to take over a team with the luka that just finished 5th in the west and took the clippers to 7 should be pretty attractive to most candidates. a guy like masai could be picky but there’s not many like that, i’d imagine

the luka

I'm not seeing anything yet about haralabob being out btw, seems to be sourced from some live podcast KOC is doing

if they're gonna hire a new GM that guy is prob gonna want haralabob out so it seems inevitable

heres your office pay no mind to the professional gambler recently described as the most powerful person in the organization who btw our franchise player cant stand to look at

lamelo roty btw

luka press conference statement tomorrow...

Luka Doncic, from Slovenia with his national team, on Donnie Nelson's Mavericks exit:

"It was kind of tough to me. I really like Donnie. I know him since I was a kid and he was the one that drafted me. It was tough for me seeing that, but I'm not the one making decisions there."

Not yet, anyway.

The New Orleans Pelicans have been unable to put together the right elements to make Zion Williamson and his family happy, per @TheAthleticNBA

"Multiple sources have told The Athletic that certain family members want Williamson on another team." 😳 pic.twitter.com/6kfWYLqX4V

pelicans gotta be like “okay… and…”

Move them to Seattle pleeease

if you want to be drafted onto an already good team you should try being the 20th best player in the draft and not the 1st best

woww

Rick Carlisle -- who led Dallas to the 2011 NBA championship -- informed Mavericks owner Mark Cuban today that he won't be returning as coach next season, Carlisle told ESPN. Carlisle had two years left on his contract. He spent 13 seasons as Mavericks coach.

Damn

he should check out the boston celtics job listings

Cuban is such a shithead

we need the behind the scenes tell all asap

Just a normal org doing normal things

everything seems fine over there

someone teach rick to crop out the keyboard

hmm haralabob not mentioned in the note

wow, way to lose the 3rd or 4th best coach in the nba

feel like carlisle will be an interesting barometer for whether coaches of a certain stature will wanna work for stevens bcuz on paper you'd think that would be a pretty great match

i guess this is the price you pay for having the best 22 year old player in the world

There had been simmering tension between Luka Doncic and Rick Carlisle that was a concern within the Mavs organization. The expectation was that he'd return next season, but he'd have been on the hot seat. https://t.co/YRJ1fwQ6GQ

seems like the celtics are intent on going after someone more in the young black ex player range but who knows

Luka Doncic is a strong supporter of Mavs assistant coach Jamahl Mosley. “He’s got the things that are needed for a head coach," Doncic said after Mosely's one-game fill-in for a win over the Knicks this season. "He can be the head coach, for sure.”

— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) June 17, 2021

i think carlisle is prob the best coach in the game but hes not exactly a players coach and thats dicey these days

"he can be the head coach, for sure, instead of the guy who is currently the coach, who i don't like, theoretically speaking, of course"

luka divadoncic

lol

Rick Carlisle really told Mark Cuban, “and for that reason, I’m out”

— Paolo Uggetti (@PaoloUggetti) June 17, 2021

wonder if any teams are getting knocked out tonight that may be in need of a head coach

We had an argument about the organizational merits of the Dallas Mavericks about 2 weeks ago

lol its true
