Luka Doncic, from Slovenia with his national team, on Donnie Nelson's Mavericks exit:"It was kind of tough to me. I really like Donnie. I know him since I was a kid and he was the one that drafted me. It was tough for me seeing that, but I'm not the one making decisions there."— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) June 17, 2021

if you want to be drafted onto an already good team you should try being the 20th best player in the draft and not the 1st best

Rick Carlisle -- who led Dallas to the 2011 NBA championship -- informed Mavericks owner Mark Cuban today that he won't be returning as coach next season, Carlisle told ESPN. Carlisle had two years left on his contract. He spent 13 seasons as Mavericks coach.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 17, 2021

wow, way to lose the 3rd or 4th best coach in the nba
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:23 (two years ago) link
feel like carlisle will be an interesting barometer for whether coaches of a certain stature will wanna work for stevens bcuz on paper you'd think that would be a pretty great match
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:24 (two years ago) link
i guess this is the price you pay for having the best 22 year old player in the world
There had been simmering tension between Luka Doncic and Rick Carlisle that was a concern within the Mavs organization. The expectation was that he'd return next season, but he'd have been on the hot seat. https://t.co/YRJ1fwQ6GQ— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) June 17, 2021

seems like the celtics are intent on going after someone more in the young black ex player range but who knows

Luka Doncic is a strong supporter of Mavs assistant coach Jamahl Mosley. āHeās got the things that are needed for a head coach," Doncic said after Mosely's one-game fill-in for a win over the Knicks this season. "He can be the head coach, for sure.ā— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) June 17, 2021
i think carlisle is prob the best coach in the game but hes not exactly a players coach and thats dicey these days
― lagān, Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:29 (two years ago) link
"he can be the head coach, for sure, instead of the guy who is currently the coach, who i don't like, theoretically speaking, of course"

We had an argument about the organizational merits of the Dallas Mavericks about 2 weeks ago

lol its true
― lagān, Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:17 (two years ago) link
makes too much sense carlisle is the master of making weird pieces fit
Carlisle had two years left on his contract in Dallas, but there are five other coaching openings in the NBA and possibly more forthcoming. He'll easily land another job.Rumblings about Milwaukee as a destination -- IF the Bucks make a change -- have been circulating for weeks.— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) June 17, 2021
tbh not very unusual for a star to win a power struggle over a coach even if the coach is rick carlisle. ask the spurs whether theyād rather have let kawhi win that organizational power struggle
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:40 (two years ago) link
the chances are pretty high that the mavs are playing as a top 4 seed in the west by dec/jan next year and this is all just remembered as some fun offseason drama, which it is
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:41 (two years ago) link
idk would not want to be the coach who has to make this mavs roster work as well as carlisle did
― lagān, Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:44 (two years ago) link
btw listening to tim macmahon on zach lowes pod rn thats how bad i want the dirt "mavs front office has been a mess for a while" "mark cuban is the mavs gm, makes all the basketball decisions"

Mark Cuban hired a Twitter goon who forced out a top 5 coach. To me this is not a great situation
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 17 June 2021 22:41 (two years ago) link
havenāt listened to the lowe pod yet but my impression is that it was the tension with luka that got carlisle to leave, the haralabob thing seems related and not great but not in a direct way maybe
― k3vin k., Thursday, 17 June 2021 22:49 (two years ago) link
theres a lot we dont know about how this all went down and i would like to know it

the atheltic:
After 16 years as the head of the Dallas Mavericksā front office, from Dirk Nowitzkiās one-of-a-kind run to the Luka Doncic era that has shown so much similar promise, Nelson had begun to wonder if he was truly in charge of the teamās roster or coaching staff anymore. But when he relayed these fears to owner Mark Cuban, sharing his growing belief that Haralabos Voulgaris, the former professional gambler who served as the teamās director of quantitative research and development, was encroaching on his influence over personnel moves and strategy, the course correction that heād never hoped for arrived.
Nelson had wanted Voulgaris to stay in his proverbial lane, to avoid overstepping the bounds of his role and focus on being a trusted adviser to Cuban whose analytics-based views would always be taken into account. Dallas would have preferred to project stability ahead of a crucial summer in which Doncic was eligible for a supermax contract extension he indicated a desire to sign. Instead, within the front office, there was turmoil and dysfunction.
...
As one rival team executive shared Wednesday, there were times when talking to the Mavericks about trade possibilities meant inevitable confusion. Nelson would paint one picture, so to speak, discussing the possible pieces and players involved in an attempt to get a deal done. But Voulgaris, who this rival executive said had talked to his team simultaneously about a particular deal, would tell a different story. And because Voulgaris was widely known to have a direct line to Cuban, this dynamic was seen by Nelson as damaging to his credibility. When asked over the phone about this assertion on Wednesday, Cuban refuted the idea that Voulgaris had negatively impacted the process.
