RE: MAVS NEWS: Cuban: Kidd absolutely the coach next season| 3 game losing streak - omahen - 04-06-2023
Ha, ha, ha, this Dallas news article is just lol on so many levels. Even if Cuban is just taking the blame to not throw Nico and Kidd under the bus, it actually makes them look more stupid. Basically saying Nico is a puppet and Cuban is making decisions Nico is supposed to be hired to do.
On the Brunsons front. No idea what Brunsons dad motive would be to lie about Mavs not accepting the extension. It would be just stupid for him to lie like that. On the other hand it is pretty clear what Cubans motive to lie is. That text exchange from LATE January doesn't really prove anything. Article itself says that (allegedly) Brunsons representatives came to Dallas with the 55 mil extension in EARLY January. Could those obviously unrealistic demands from LATE January be a result of rejected deal in EARLY January? I see a world where this is possible.
As for the summer things related to Brunson. Basically everyone knew what Knicks offer to Brunson was, well before June 30th. Cuban however claims he didn't know. It also indicates that while it is clear to everyone that discussions are done way before June 30th, Cuban makes it look like Mavs are the only ones waiting till June 30th to discuss. Even with own players...

I totally agree Luka is not a leader. What THJ Sr is saying without saying it is also, that THJ Jr is not a leader
RE: MAVS NEWS: Cuban: Kidd absolutely the coach next season| 3 game losing streak - omahen - 04-06-2023
I listened to that Sr clip and it has so many gems in it. He said SD was a defensive anchor
He said Mavs were good and nothing needed to be fixed...Also, if this really is a full clip, THJ Sr never said Luka is a crybaby...

He plays for the bizarro world Mavs that Sr. was watching where Dinwiddie was a defensive force. This team has not looked good for any stretch of the season.

The Mavs should've flushed the season after the 4 game losing streak with back 2 back losses against Charlotte.

The NBA needs to launch an investigation into the Spurs now.

Many teams do this when a generational talent is the prize but they don’t openly come and say it. They trade some of their best players. Other players the medical staff will downgrade even for the smallest of niggles.
The 76ers Process talk was well known and even mentioned on national broadcasts.
Where the league has to investigate it is when someone on the team pretty much states they are intentionally tanking like Kidd did the other night
I said then the league will be forced to investigate this. “Forced” is the key word. Do you think the league wants to do this? What choice do they have though when a snitch within the organization openly says they have been told to tank? The NBA will otherwise get asked in the media how they are letting this go. With other teams there is plausible deniability
You can almost see Silver groaning when he read Kidd’s words knowing now his office will have to get involved when they could have just turned a blind eye if the Mavs did this the same way other teams are doing it.

This is all going to end with the Mavs winning today and losing the coin flip. Thus losing their pick.
Then the nba will investigate and determine the Mavs did tank the Bulls game due to Kidd’s words. Nba will fine Cuban and they tell him as punishment he needs to continue to make basketball decisions.
Ok probably not, but it would be a chef kiss to end the most dysfunctional season.

We get a top 10 pick and our punishment from Silver is to lose the pick. It's like poetry.

For real. I think the reason they have not tried, is that Cuban would fight them to the death to keep the team. For the Maloofs, Sterling and Sarver it was more of a business, so if you made it uncomfortable enough and came with a decent offer, they´d put up little resistance. Cuban won´t go quietly, therefore the NBA doesn´t want to draw more attention and instead takes the regular donations/fines from the Mavs instead. Between physical violence, sexual harrassment, openly attacking the integrity of umpires/league, publically admitting to tanking repeatedly, blatant lies and messing up every major FO, he should long be forced out.
RE: MAVS NEWS: Cuban: Kidd absolutely the coach next season| 3 game losing streak - hakeemfaan - 04-09-2023
There was a mention on how a generational talent usually means multiple titles.
Now I know both Dirk and Luka had/have their flaws but Dirk showed in 2011 and in 2006 that he was not even looking for all world players next to him. Give him any of TP/Manu or Shaq or Bynum/Pau/Not drugged out Odom and he wins most likely 3 or 4 titles given what he did with the 2006 and 2011 cast.
Luka for all his whining is a true transcendent scorer. This guy can come in with a pot belly and there is no defender who can slow him down let alone stop him.
However he is stuck on a franchise that has the easiest job possible but cannot figure out how to go about it. Avery, Donnie who had mailed it in for many years, Nico, Kidd, The Gambler, … the hits keep coming. Not to mention all the non basketball garbage that happened with the Mavs corporate staff. What a clown show. Give Luka a halfway decent owner and front office and you will see him winning a handful of titles. Plus a lot of his bad behavior is probably frustration at being stuck with this owner and franchise.
Dirk’s biggest strength was his loyalty. His biggest weakness was also his loyalty. He should have called out Cuban a long time ago. Maybe things would be different. It is too late now and we honestly have one of the worst owners in the game. He might not be a bad guy like Sarver but when it comes to sheer incompetence, Cuban is probably the worst.

I didn't know Harisson just started his job. Or is this a quote from two years ago?
(1) Tim MacMahon on Twitter: "Mavs GM Nico Harrison: "I think our job really to keep Luka happy, if you will, is surrounding him by the right players to help him win. And I think Luka's a talent that deserves that."" / Twitter
(1) Kirk Henderson, Questioning Authority on Twitter: "There’s got to be a way to say this without implying the existing players are dumb and bad" / Twitter
I mean, Nico is right. But some things perhaps shouldn't be said.
