I was thinking that what the Mavs are going thought right now is similar to June of 1996. Not the exact chain of events but could this be history's weird thing of trying to repeat it self?
Norm Sonju = Donnie Nelson, Dick Mota = Rick Carlisle have just left the organization. The owner still has a life long Mavs and current VP of Basketball Ops Keith Grant = Michael Finley with the club. But for some strange reason he turns to an outsider Frank Zaccanelli = Bob Voulgaris for advice and help run the team.
We all know what happened next back in the summer of 1996. The new MBT thinks they know best and choses not to hire a real GM. And even better they hires a assistant coach from another team that does not fit with the teams best player Jason Kidd = Luka Doncic. This resulted in Grant/Finley leaving the club and Kidd/Doncic being traded.
Is Mavs history trying to repeat itself here in 2021?
