:lol behind the scenes, Luka HATED Carlisle. I wouldn’t be shocked if this was a “quit or be fired, because Luka doesn’t want you back next year” scenario.

This will only help keep Luka in Dallas.

The real issue is Mark Cuban's horrible relationship with Luka's agent, Billy Duffy. There is loooooong history going back to Steve Nash and some shitposting Cuban did about Duffy. Duffy also represented Darren Collinson and Rajon Rondo when they were on the Mavs. It was ugly.

[Dirks_Finale]

Rick is just not good with younger players.( He probably ruined Roddy B) He just clashes with any young, ball dominant player who does not do things his way.

I could see Rick working out in a place like Portland. Dame is established enough to where he can sit back and let their guards initiate the offense.

[Michael Jordan.]

1405636744016318464
:lmao

[Michael Jordan.]

Doncic is also represented by Bill Duffy, who has had a rocky relationship with the Mavericks over the years as detailed by Tim MacMahon on The Lowe Post. MacMahon adds that Donnie Nelson, who was fired by Mark Cuban, helped the Mavericks manage the relationship with Duffy.

"Where Donnie was really important, just in terms of the Luka dynamic," said MacMahon. "Not just the relationship with Luka but the relationship he had with Bill Duffy, Luka's agent.

"The Mavericks, well before Luka... they have burned some bridges with Duffy. Bill Duffy was Steve Nash's agent. Mark Cuban had a multi-thousand blog post blasting Bill Duffy after Steve Nash's departure to the Suns way back when.

"Bill Duffy represented Darren Collison. Represents Rajon Rondo. Those guys had disastrous, brief, messy, contentious stints playing for Rick Carlisle.

"Bill Duffy is ultimately going to do what is in the best interest of his client, but my point in saying all of this is I don't think these guys are going to get benefit of the doubt. I don't think they've earned benefit of the doubt with him."

Luka Doncic is a strong supporter of Mavs assistant coach Jamahl Mosley. “He’s 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.”

the mavs first need a competent GM that wont have to listen to retarded gamblers and cuban, then players that can actually play basketball and then a good coach.

[KobesAchilles]

From what I remember just about everybody hated Carlisle. He was way too controlling, wanted to call every play and didn’t give his players any freedom. I can see how that rubs Luka the wrong way. And unlike Pop with Gino, it seems like ol Ricky didn’t want to change his ways

[Spurtacular]

1405620785700605955

What kind of player needs to be coddled in the offseason by the GM and head coach FFS?

I would've probably gotten out too if it's as bad as all that.

[Spurtacular]

tbh carlisle should have quit when they didnt bring tyson chandler back

TBH.

But I think he still wanted to do what he could to go back to back for Dirk if at all possible.

Every pg was disagreeing with him. Kidd especially. I am not sure that anyone hated him... well, rondo. Luka played for coaches that screamed on him in Europe and that was not a problem for him, so I dont think Luka was a big reason Rick quit. More like, Rick didnt like wtf is Cuban doing with listening to a gambler. Same for Nelson. Luka was very close to him and i am not buying any of this Luka GM bullshit. Its pretty obvious Cuban is incompetent. I also do think Nelson should have lost the job, as he has done nothing. Rick was fine, i guess, but nothing special.

[monosylab1k]

Rick quit because he knew that 1) new GM’s usually bring in their own coach, and 2) Luka doesn’t really respect him anymore.

After losing to the Clippers, most Mavs fans were upset with Donnie, Rick, and KP. Well two of those guys are gone, and they’re definitely shopping Porzingis. How is any of this bad for the Mavs? The Haralabos stuff is concerning, but the NBA is an analytics dominated league now, and it’s adapt or die. Is Mark picking the right analytics guy? Time will tell, but what we DID know is that the Donnie/Rick thing had run it’s course and wasn’t going to work anymore.

:lmao at anyone thinking this was a bad week for the Mavericks. This was the chemotherapy that killed the cancer. Unpleasant business but hopefully leading to a much brighter future.

[Texas_Ranger]

Nelson had to go. Carlisle was like 50/50. He didnt really have a good roster to work with, so i dont think any coach would have done better. Porzingis should be next.

[monosylab1k]

Pulling Luka up 30-11 in the first quarter of Game 3, and those Game 6 timeouts that killed all momentum were pretty clear mistakes that lost the series. Rick had to go.

[monosylab1k]

Also, if the rumors are true, then Haralabos was setting the rotation and strategies, meaning Rick was literally doing nothing but calling bad timeouts and icing his own team.

[Texas_Ranger]

Luka needs to use all of the power the media thinks he has and get rid of the gambler as well.

[Michael Jordan.]

First you have no draft picks. You have to attach them to get rid of a salary that big. Second, no big free agent is coming to Dallas. Third, go ahead and give a player that much power. See where it leads you. Fourth, keep trading away picks, that will hinder any ability for trades.

[Michael Jordan.]

Cuban gonna fuck around, trade Porzingis and more draft picks for Kemba

[Neo.]

despite not getting past the first round in 10 years, they still accomplished infinitely more than houston :lmao

over the past 20 years dallas consistently checked the boxes on all of those things and houston checked none of those and dallas STILL had more success than houston :lmao :lmao :lmao

They already have Jamahl Mosley in house. Otherwise I’d bet they go Becky Hammon for the positive PR.

Having Luka kinda makes the coach irrelevant, kinda like a team with LeBron. All the coach has to do is stay on the superstar’s good side and keep out of their way. Carlisle failed miserably at both this season.

this is where i don't get the fucking pop hate, like he's remade this team so many fucking times, it's not his fault they guy they built their team around decided to bail. And everyone's all mad they made that trade but losing kawhi was always going to fuck them anyway so why give him what he wanted when they were always going to get nothing back.

Coaches get too full of themselves, too much hubris, and they show their asses and get fired. Pop showed his ass on multiple occasions but somehow kept his job. They start to treat the team like a personal experiment, like they had an epiphany that said go against common sense and do the unthinkable. They do, it flops, they walk.

[callo1]

Best coach in the game.

These youngsters can't handle hard coaching anymore. Dallas will regret Carlisle leaving.

Please come to SA Rick!
