MAVS NEWS: DET Hires Dennis Lindsey as VP of Basketball Operations

[F Gump]

Just really weird all the way around.  From the sale to his role post trade.  Seemed like an odd role for him and something that was not needed.  Just an another level that wa not needed. Plus, it was a role that he was not really very good in anyway.  Identifying talent was never his strong point.

He seemed to be in good spirits, but this change just feels odd. 

He made a ton of money and maybe he needed that.  Just word how it went down and how it looks like his role will be very limited moving forward

"... his role will be very limited moving forward " -- Limited role? He has no role going forward. He's a minority partner. This is not his show in any way. Go away and let the experts handle things.

I suspect that was ALWAYS the way it was going to be, because the way he packaged it (as if he was selling, but he was still the one in charge making the decisions) made no sense. Who pays billions for a company, then lets someone else (who is not very good) use it as their toy? Felt like a classic Cuban lie, self-serving to praise himself, and still does. I think the real deal was that, for continuity purposes, the season would continue to operate as is, and then Cuban would be booted out of any management once it was over.

And why would they want Cuban in charge in perpetuity ("forevermore" as he put it)? Cuban thinks he's an expert at GM-ing, but he just wasn't. His colossal mistakes in overruling his experts held the organization back and were a real issue in trying to win. Clueless and dismissive about the draft. Nash. The stupid teardown of a title team. Giannis. Brunson. And lots of medium sized blunders in-between. Another GM would have been fired long ago.
