The Athletic: Inside the Mavericks front office, Mark Cuban’s shadow GM…

Voulgaris works well with Rick and obviously Cuban. Ok, Luka doesn't like him but you can solve that by keeping him from team locked away in a dark room or something. The rest is mostly rant about unsuccessful team building history. Cuban is trying to change it but hasn't done it well or enough. So, fire Donnie...

This was main message I got, both on a podcast I listened to yesterday (77 minutes) and this one now.

Tim says that this was not intended as a message piece, insofar as determining who should stay and who should go. 

He says he could see it going a number of ways -- Bob staying and Donnie going, both staying with Bob's role being cut back to something reflecting his title, or any number of other solutions. Says he does not have an educated guess as to which way the organization is leaning, just that he will be very surprised if changes aren't made to the power structure this summer. 

I did not read the piece as advocating a specific solution -- more as outlining problems.
