You will not pull sh*t like Harden or even Kawhi in Dallas.Part of the whole. Good points.
You don´t dictate, when you show up to practice, what players to trade for and who the head coach is. The head coach is the boss and he has the 100% backing of the owner. You can´t play politics on the Mavs.
Then it´s worth remembering that LeBron tried to get Spoelstra fired and Riley simply said NO. Later Bron tried to dictate and influence front office decisions in free agency and Riley said NO again, so LeBron left. Though that didn´t stop Butler from signing there recently.
The truth is all our player recruitment problems come from our FO doing an awful job with the franchise direction and on-court product for a decade. God knows how awful the next 10 years would have been without getting Luka.
