MacMahon could have written something about the opening day on opening day but decides to bring up the past.  

"I mean, I think Mark had this idea that maybe we could work together, [that] the stuff that he's good at I'm I might be deficient at and vice versa," Voulgaris said. "[Nelson is] more of a, kind of like a wheeler dealer, like when you shake his hands, you want to make sure your rings are still there. Not in a bad way, but he's that guy. He's a deal maker. He's a broker. My working relationship with Donnie Nelson was seeing him every once in a while and getting a fist bump. That was it. Whether it was a fist bump text message or a fist bump in person, that was his thing. He was very nice and cordial to my face, [but] I think threatened by me."

"I sent [Cuban] an email where I was like, 'Hey, look, I'm just trying to fit in. I appreciate the opportunity. I don't want to ruffle any feathers,'" Voulgaris said. "And he was very clear, like, 'No, I don't want you to fit in. We're deficient in areas that you're good at. If it's hard, hard conversations have to be had.' Looking back on it, it was kind of like I was this missile to go in there and create the change and unlock some boulders that couldn't be moved before."
