AROUND the NBA: ATL Jumps from #10 to #1 in Lotto| Pistons Mull Firing GM

So much pain for Mavs fans beginning with the Porzingis trade in 2019 and ending with the Kyrie trade in early 2023. And of course many were distraught and despondent about the Kyrie trade. Cuban and Nico made a huge bet on Kyrie as a human being, against all outside observers, and won big time. Then there's Lively, OMax, DJJ, Exum, Gafford, PJ... Only major screwup was GW, and they rectified that in spades.

Many think Lindsey is the brain behind those moves. Now he has been mentioned as an option in some FO searches around the league (Detroit). If Lindsay was the brain behind the recent moves, I hope Nico learned enough. His first two summers were really bad.
