Who is having trade/draft and FA conversations on behalf of the Mavs in the meantime?

This is my biggest question right now.   From what I gather this search firm likes to take their time and does not rush things.  Are we looking at 2 weeks?  A month?  Quite frankly Dallas does not have that much time to spare.    The plans have to be well in progress right now and connections also need to be happening.   I don't think it is possible to bring someone in 3 weeks from now and have him hire a coach, develop an offseason plan, and execute the plan in that short time period.  In honesty, it probably leads to a big mess if they wait 3-4 weeks to hire someone.   Also, with all the leaks recently, I imagine there will be plenty of scouts and front office people who will continue to leak stuff this summer.
