He also has some concerning allegations against him for racism though. The league couldn't ever prove the allegations, however. I'm sure Nico checked into it before hiring him I suppose.

Considering Cuban looks at roster building in the most simplistic terms possible, it wouldn't surprise me if it boiled down to we need defense and rebounding, Javale can do those things, Kidd liked him in LA, so lets sign him. And that was it. Never mind that McGee is a drop coverage big while we thrived using a switching scheme last year, he can't switch onto guards, is 35, etc. This is the front office who tried to say that picking up Wood and getting THJ back would replace what Brunson brought on offense, as if was as simple as plugging in a couple guys who can score the same 16ppg that Brunson scored last year. They don't have a plan or seem to really understand how different pieces fit together. It's just, we need defense and rebounding, ok here's a guy that can do that. We need shooting? Here's JJ Reddick's broken down ass. RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs in discussions to hire Dennis Lindsay as Ass. GM - chaparral - 04-17-2023 A special assistant to Nico sounds a way better than a special assistant to Cuban. Some Jazz draft picks in the past. 2013 - # 9 Trey Burke and # 27 Rudy Gobert 2014 - # 5 Dante Exum and # 23 Rodney Hood 2015 - # 12 Trey Lyles 2016 - # 13 Donovan Mitchel and # 28 Tony Bradley 2018 - # 21 Grayson Allen RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs in discussions to hire Dennis Lindsay as Ass.

Couldn't be any worse than the Nico/Cuban show. RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs in discussions to hire Dennis Lindsay as Ass. GM - IamDougieFresh - 04-17-2023 Another Cuban negotiation failure. There are literally billions of people who would manage ass for free. RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs in discussions to hire Dennis Lindsay as Ass. GM - hakeemfaan - 04-17-2023 Hope this doesn’t turn into another Gambler vs Donnie situation if Cuban is the one forcing Nico to make this hire. ——- But most expect Lindsey to find another NBA job rather than stay with the Jazz in this role for long — he was said to be interested in Dallas’ open position, since filled by Nike executive Nico Harrison. https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2021/06/28/story-behind-utah-jazzs/ RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs in discussions to hire Dennis Lindsay as Ass.

A 54 year old with 13 years experience as GM serving as an understudy to a 50 year old sophomore GM. RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs in discussions to hire Dennis Lindsay as Ass. GM - ItsGoTime - 04-18-2023 A consultant isn’t an understudy. Jerry West has served as a consultant, Don Nelson was a consultant for a time.

Jerry West has served as a consultant, Don Nelson was a consultant for a time. When Jerry West was hired it was known that he would have a lot of leverage. This is a weird dynamic with someone who is coming in wanting the same job tht Nico now has. Plus he has years of experience in this and Nico is a neophyte. It is going to be interesting. It can absolutely work if done correctly and boundaries are clearly defined. Do I have confidence in Cuban of doing that? Absolutely no.

It is going to be interesting.The report says Nico has been looking for someone in this capacity for a year. I also haven’t seen anything about the guy saying he wants Nico’s job. A consultant job sounds like having a sit back and talk through the pros and cons on all the leg work Nico is doing, and getting paid well to do so. Pretty great retirement gig. If he is gunning for the job, may the best man win honestly. Don’t really care how we get to contention, just want to get there. RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs in discussions to hire Dennis Lindsay as Ass. GM - MarkAguirreWrathofGod - 04-18-2023 Was Assistant GM of SA 2007-2012. Found that notable. Going to go back and reacquaint myself with his work when I have a chance.

GM - MarkAguirreWrathofGod - 04-18-2023 Joe Ingles and Royce O’Neale were good undrafted finds on Lindsey’s watch. Definitely a mixed bag draft-wise. Traded up for Gobert with just cash essentially. Traded for Conley. RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs in discussions to hire Dennis Lindsay as Ass.

GM - MarkAguirreWrathofGod - 04-18-2023 I wouldn’t say Hood and Grayson Allen qualify as bad picks. If you get a rotation player in the 20’s it’s a victory. And they were able to use Allen as part of the package to get Conley. |
