There is nothing contradictory on what he said, he named the names of assistants and also mentioned someone they really like who is a top target for them but unlikely.
It is similar to all process and rumours every other franchises had.
If tomorrow they announced Nurse or Jasikevičius as new coach, we can have this discussion about Stein sources.
This seems to come from fans not liking the name he mentioned.
Agreed. I think it's pretty clear that "sources" from within the Mavs organization are in a state of transition, but that doesn't mean Stein is suddenly going to throw out guesses. He might have less information than he used to enjoy, at least temporarily, but that's manifested in him providing us with less info. He's still one of the last, truly professional journalists, in the old school sense. I wouldn't assume the little info he has provided us isn't sourced and vetted to his usual standard.
