Further, in the years following the title when the Mavs were big game hunting for another star to pair with/be the torch bearer for Dirk, Bill Simmons mentioned something about their struggles and said there was a league wide perception along the lines of the question being purposed in that article.Well it probably doesn´t help that Cuban said he´s change the street, if he saw a black guy in a hoodie at night.
As for that article: WTF. I didn´t even know the guardian writes about basketball. Last time must have been the original Dream Team.
But my theory still holds that players simply did not sign here, cause they thought the organisation is run poorly. Given that Carlisle, Casey, Silas, and Mosley currently hold four of the six worst records in the league, maybe the toxic personality severely outweighed what was left of the Carlisle coaching magic, too.
