RE: Finley and the Draft

I think there are two key things here:

1) What Finley offered wasn't scouting and eval, but organization. That makes me feel really good about him as the president of basketball operations. 

2) The new GM will run the draft. So Fin will oversee, in the sense of making sure everyone is organized and about their business, but I do NOT see Fin making any basketball decisions. I assume the GM will make the call and Cuban will stamp off on it, while Fin makes sure the GM is doing his job adequately.

The Fin stuff happened before Bob.  It is all for show if he is going to get overruled. Plus the owner that you trust so much suddenly and was spouting his smartest man in the room theory long before Fin came here didn’t see any issues with no overall draft board? 

You keep repeating the same stuff over and over as if saying it enough times will start making it sound sensible. It does not. 

Saying this again.  Fin’s role is just a title in name only. Read again what you just wrote. It is is just some hodgepodge of words trying to rationalize things but it doesn’t make any sense at all as to any real value that Fin is providing. 

If Mark wants to make Bob the GM he should man up and do that. Else kick out Fin, kick out Bob, kick out Mos, and bring a GM who will bring his own coach and his own analytics guy. Folks he know cannot bypass him and go directly to the owner.
