The Athletic: Inside the Mavericks front office, Mark Cuban’s shadow GM…

[JamesConway]

I didn't really hear this as a "team Donnie" podcast. More of a "nothing to see here" slant.


Mostly questioning some of the reporting, and saying that even if the incidents reported actually happened, they weren't important. Even to the point of "we've got better stories than his stories, but we're just not telling them."

My takeaway message from this pod was, "Whatever front office problems there are will get sorted out, Haralabob will either work out or no, and Luka will not leave over any of it. Moving right along. . . ." 

I think Cato's message was that this is the attitude the organization has been cultivating more years, and pushing back is warranted. 

I guess people can draw their own conclusions.

Yeah Skin is an employee and obviously has to watch what he says publicly. We can’t  expects any sort of non biased input from him on reports of this magnitude.

I just hope we get over with this quickly. Best case scenario is a real GM like Masai or Ainge taking over with the ability to keep Cuban in check. Our current guys obviously don’t have the ability to do so for whatever reasons. 

Gotta love that there is finally some public pressure on the decision makers. We didn’t have nearly enough of that over the last decade and it all went south badly for too long.
