Shams Charania: "Think back to the last eight months. Patrick Dumont, the Mavericks owner, you let go of Nico Harrison and then brought in Masai Ujiri to run this organization, fire Jason Kidd within weeks after bringing in Masai Ujiri. Throughout the onset of the process, it was John Scheyer and Dusty May as the top two targets for the Dallas Mavericks. That's who they really zoned in on. A group of assistants was interviewed as well, but they landed on Dusty May. A lot of executives around the NBA believe that Dusty May has been destined to make the jump. He was motivated, he wanted to do it, and that's what comes through these opportunities. You need both sides, the coach and the team, ready to make this jump." Yaxel Lendeborg on Dusty May's hiring and potential reunion: "I'm going to tell him he better pick me up. If he doesn't, I'm going to be mad, I might block him. But it would be amazing being able to stick with him."
