The Mavs had Nash to run Nelson's offense but needed help ballhandling for when Nash was double-teamed. What did Mark do? Let Nash walk for nothing. If Mark wanted the team coached another way, he should've fired Nelson instead of what he did. Avery couldn't carry Nelson's jock as a coach, as was proven in that GS series. I'll repeat, that was all on Cuban.
Ok, great. I agree with some of that. Most of it, even.
It doesn't change the fact that Don Nelson quit on the team in the middle of the season...because, you know...that's LITERALLY what he did.
