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

[Mavs2021]

The more interesting question is which side/camp leaked the info to Cato. Donnie? Luka/Duffy? Rick?


I doubt Cato really has the inside track on the front office. Most guys that are reporting are usually hit or miss, apart from Stein. And the national guys WOJ, Shams of course.

Could be the agent of another player. Porzingis took the most public damage in the process. The rookies were dead on arrival. Richardson got demoted and embarrased like Rondo/Noel in the end, which would then lead back to Duffy.

My money is on Luka/Duffy applying a ton of presssure on the MBT now before Luka wants to sign the supermax.

Wouldn´t surprise me, if this is actually about Lavine. Who else could they get this summer that is a young superstar?

Duffy: I spoke to Lavine. He wants to come and play with Luka. Trade for him now and you got Luka´s signature.
Bob: I crunched the advanced numbers on his defense on my computer and....Luka:


F*** your computer.
