If they **** up the Luka thing with all these shenanigans, I'll never watch or go to another game as long as Cuban is there.

I feel the same way. Is Cuban Jerruh 2.0?

In fairness they did trade for Luka but all things considered IMO a borderline generational talent in Luka fell into their laps. If they manage to squander that I am out as well. They aren't getting another Luka any time soon, or most likely ever again.

Something that can't be lost in all this is the fact that if Luka wants Voulgaris (or anyone else) out Cuban would do it in a second.

Glad to see Cuban finally taking some real heat.

Some of the "issues" that they listed were good points by Cuban, maybe not the best to have aired out some of those opinions, but I agree with some of the things he said.

So is the implication that Don Nelson is the reddit poster?

No, the reddit poster is Bob or someone very close to him (people saying he was hired by Bob to make that vid).

Bob's contract is up this summer. I would be shocked if they brought him back, I don't see how Cuban could given all this negative press.

Yeah, I think the working theory is that Bob got wind that Donnie was trying to oust him, so Bob made that video to subvert Donnie before Donnie made his move.

I would certainly hope so. There is no one more important than Luka

Kawhi out tonight. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate to see that for the Clippers. Really haaaaaaaaaate to think they are going to end up getting bounced.

Wow. This went from a "small tweak" to a major injury within a day.

I'm a die hard mavs fan, and I don't have a problem with Kawhi even though he's dominated my team in various uniforms for years.

He plays with a collection of aholes, though.

No issue w Kawhi at all. Hate the Clippers though.

No problem with Kawhi other than he owns us. As opposed to Wade, who owned us and was also a ******bag.

Definitely seemed like The Athletic article was a hit piece on Hbob orchestrated by Donnie. The fact they are now parting ways makes that seem even more likely. If Cuban found out that Donnie orchestrated it or was leaking info to Tim Cato, then it's time to part ways. Who knows, but somewhat makes sense.

Very interested to see which direction we go with the new GM.

Im not OK with it if its true this other dude has too much influence, which this would seem to indicate.

That being said, Donnie DID hit on Dirk, Josh Howard, Devin Harris, Luka, Jalen Brunson

we missed on just about every trade or other draft pick over 20-ish years.

I feel like Donnie couldn't have been that dumb to actually help orchestrate that hit piece. Tim Cato has already tweeted that Donnie wasn't involved in the article, but I also understand that is likely hard to believe at face value.

But still, just seems like a really dumb move by Donnie to try to do that.

A dysfunctional backoffice is problem. Sounds like a move had to be made. Better now than during Free Agency.

Report said that the decision was made Sunday. That hit piece came out on Monday. So did Donnie know what was coming and decide to go out guns blazing?

We also haven't renewed Bob V's contract yet. Could have been a kamikaze attempt to take Bob down with him

Find the best in the business at trades and FA and back up the truck. Donnie wasn't that guy. We have the superstar. But Luka needs support; get someone who has proven that they can do it.

Listening to the Ticket and I agree with Sports Sturm that Bob Voulgaris may be next on the chopping block. The bottom line is that we need to keep Luka happy.

Wouldn't mind making a run at Masai Ujiri from Toronto. He is planning on leaving Toronto regardless, but try to get him to Dallas
