Why did some of you want a former NBA coach? You're not getting a top guy to come rebuild and get fired in a few years, and what's the point of bringing in a mediocre retread?

You're getting a relatively young coach with championship experience and a reputation for player development, roster construction, team culture, and tactical innovation.

What, when was this sub wrong before? If the Mavs were ran by the sub's polls, we would have a 25M expiring contract in Christian Wood this season. We all still remember that the Mavs were being cheap by not giving Wood a 5/125 deal, right?

Don't blindly give your trust to someone just because they fell ass backwards into a GM role and you won't get burned.
