So, first thing is first:
My mainest man, @"JamesConway", has been calling for Donnie to get fired for a month, and I've been sort of low-key making fun of him about it because I didn't think it was even the remotest of possibilities. Please accept my apology for that, my guy. You were right!
...I see a lot of assuming that this is part of a plan, and that it has been done for a while. Idk...I think it's just as likely that this article prompted Cuban to try to "get to the bottom" of who is unhappy and talking, and then once everyone's cards were on the table and he STILL wanted to keep this haralabob guy around Donnie decided to take his toys and go home. I can easily imagine that it worked out that way, actually, but we of course don't know.
Carlisle was brought here by Donnie - they've been friends for like 40 years or something crazy like that. He might not even WANT to stay here without Donnie, and at the very least I'd say he's feeling less secure than he was before this happened.
Random thought: has anyone considered that Carlisle might be a candidate for GM? I don't know that I think that's likely, but it's also not impossible. He could slide Terry Stotts in as coach and keep on running the same system.
Donnie liked Porzingis. Just like he liked Shawn Bradley and Pavel Podkolzin. I wonder whether any disagreement about how to navigate the crossroads the team is at with KP factored into all of this.
