Besides mentioning Myers as "most frequently whispered long shot option", Stein had a couple more things in his latest article:
- he mentions that his sources say Mavs would like to keep Kidd as a coach and that rumors about Kidd seeking to move into front office have been repeatedly downplayed by sources with knowledge of Mavs thinking
- his sources are also saying, that various executives who currently work as top aides to lead decision makers with other franchises have expressed backchannel interest
- it is expected that Riccardi and Finley will be considered for the full-time post

I´ll say what I have always said about team sports. There are teams in football or soccer that repeatedly go back to the same clubs or youth academies that identify, sign and develop young players and then move them on for a gigantic profit. I´m thinking instead of paying 80M on each of these transfer, why not just buy their whole scouting and player development staff. That probably costs you like 2-3M a year in total for 10-15 people. You save millions and millions on the transfer fees. 

And it´s the same in the NBA. The Grizzlies seemingly can identify and develop every person over 6 feet into an useful NBA player. #Omax How nobody has come after their scouting and player development staff is so weird to me.

Also the reported salary of Presti is allegedly $5M. That must be like Dirk´s minimum contracts, cause it makes no sense that Presti makes less money than Jaden Hardy. It´s impossible that not one of the major franchises has offered him 20M a year.
