MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[Time Machine Dirk]

Bayern Munich is a bigger team maybe football wise, but their basketball team? Fat chance. If Cuban went to their owner and said here is a check for 20% of your yearly budget for your head coach you'd think they'd turn that down? 

I mean who knows. This is all speculation and doesn't matter. I'm sitting here arguing that Cuban would willingly write a check to make his team better in the short term... as if that'd happen!

Alfredo or marinara?

I think you are vastly underestimating European sports clubs in general. 
Bayern Munich is a wealthy club which takes pride in not being sellers but buyers. They won't put their season on the line by selling their newly acquired star basketball coach midseason for a few million dollars. It's just not that kind of club. Their volume 2022 was 665 million Euro and their capital resources are about 504 million Euro. (Although I don't know if that is just the football department or the whole club.) For comparison: The Mavs volume 2021 was 231 million dollars, rougly one third of Bayern Munich's. (sources: google)

Furthermore, my guess is that Pablo Laso wouldn't request to leave Bayern Munich just after signing a new contract with them. This is basically never happening in European sports. Bayern Munich will never do that, especially because they probably won't have a quick solution for a new coach to replace Laso with. However...maybe they would consider a coaching swap: J Kidd for Laso.

I hope this adds some clarity to the discussion.

Edit: Bayern Munich's basketball department works with less money, of course. However due to being part of the whole club they don't have to rely on much money coming in via selling players or coaches I would guess.
