Cavs front office was expecting to beat Boston? Allen and Mobley hasn't taken off. Garland and Mitchell combo isn't working out?!

Right they shouldn't be rewarded for the BS...I hope Minny can somehow beat them.

my assumption based on nothing but speculation is they did this to appease Mitchell - try to show him how serious they are about winning now and building the team around him, in an attempt to convince him to stay.RHODEY wrote:sol537 wrote:I admire the Mavs as a team (Luka and co.) but I hate the Mavs ownership and front office (namely Cuban)...

I think it's notable that Atkinson, in particular, was known as a coach who helped young players develop while in Brooklyn. I do not see either Borrego or Atkinson as win-now coaches. They would be better fit for younger teams trying to figure it out.
Atkinson was known as the coach that helped both Jeremy Lin and D'angelo Russell develop into much better players and would be someone I could see hired if the plan was to support Garland in taking that next step in his development.

Just a note for context: Atkinson was sabotaged in his 4th year by Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and DeAndre Jordan after Atkinson refused to bench Jarrett Allen for Jordan. Irving and Durant went to management behind his back to get him fired and started talking nonsense about how they didn't need a coach.

Possibility of a lawsuit with Toronto Raptors? I'm not sure if they are the same group.
Also, he has removed himself from committees because he felt unwanted in the NBA ownership group.
Larry Tanenbaum, the chairman for Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, is a leading figure behind the expansion franchise. The NBA's Toronto Raptors are among the sports franchises under the MLSE umbrella.

Maybe. But it feels like something stabilized with him. Like, you usually can't just put a lid on crazy. It'll come out.

Regardless of how much the media tries to rehabilitate his image because Dallas is winning, I don't buy it. He most likely knows if he implodes here then that's it for him and he's got a good few years left in his career. For context, he was on his best behavior in Brooklyn for like six weeks after he basically shouted to the world that he hates Jewish people, and once it became clear that he wasn't getting a contract without stipulations, he dropped the act and blew up the team's season without hesitation....and deleted his apology for sharing antisemitic propaganda.
^that right there showed me what kind of person Kyrie is. He literally hurt people with his actions and it resulted in bomb threats being called into NJ synagogues. And he didn't give a f*ck.
It'll come out. It's not a matter of if.
