MAVS NEWS:

[Winter]

I have no idea if Cuban is back in the picture.  I hope not.  I don't want him involved in basketball decisions.   Dumont needs a sounding board though.   Hopefully someone better than Cuban but at least Cuban has the pulse of the league.   

Things appear so fragmented.   Again, it is hard to know the workings internally but it feels like Nico is isolated.   He has the players, Kidd (? although who knows), but then there are other parts of the organization who either don't like Nico or he doesn't talk to them.   Not sure how this is sustainable if Nico doesn't at least try to mend fences.

I think the difference is that there still feels like the Mavs have no public presence. Cuban took up a lot of air. No one does that now.
