IZTOK DIAGNOSES DECLINE OF MAVS OFFENSE

[F Gump]

Whatever it is, it seems like not handing him the keys to the castle at this point sadly makes some sense.

That is the case, if you don't believe Nico was really made the decision-maker. But based on what I have seen to date, I think he was hired to take the reins, and has done so.

I agree that looks like a very questionable decision, given his lack of personal expertise for the job. But I think that was the deal he negotiated for and received - "If you want to hire me, I will be the one to exert the authority and make the decisions that go with such a position."
