Luka is gone
Wasn't he really ty in Milwaukee?
Yeah they were like the 7th seed
After one season coaching the Brooklyn Nets, Kidd effectively forced his way out of the organization and made his way to the Milwaukee Bucks—the Bucks sent two second round draft picks to the Nets for their troubles. Kidd’s desire for more power within the Nets precipitated his departure. Milwaukee fired Kidd midway through his fourth season.
Kidd’s record as a head coach is a mixed bag. Despite taking both the Nets and Bucks to the playoffs, winning a first-round series with the Nets, and winning two Coach of the Month awards, Kidd’s coaching record leaves much to be desired. His teams have never finished more than two games over .500 and his overall record as a head coach is 182-190. After dismissing Kidd, the Bucks went on to have a 60-win season the following year with virtually the same roster. That doesn’t instill a lot of confidence in his strategy or decision making as a head coach
Nike playing 4D chess to push Luka to a better market
Cuban and the Mavs are really gonna push Luka to the Lakers, aren't they?
Cuban turning into Jerruh. What is it with Dallas and having meddling sports owners only wanting to hire 'in-house, veteran savvy ' yes-men ?
Given the Mavericks fetish for milking/reliving the 2011 glory days as much as possible, I wouldn't be surprised if the coaching staff consisted of Terry, Barea, and Chandler as a PR move IMO
In theory this Nike guy is going to really help them finally sign big name free agents, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Cuban spent years fondling Dan Fegan’s balls in order to sign one of his big name clients and that resulted in the Deandre Jordan fiasco. Players just won’t come to Dallas if they have other options, doesn’t matter what Nike executive is on staff.
lol yea at this point literally the only attraction is for people to play with luka. but if hes not even on board with how things are done then no ones going to come. they have to please luka fast to have a chance.
the other question is can the nike guy evaluate talent well? or is he just a glorified recruiter?

What more does he have to do to be gone? Failures and troublesome incidents
Mavs have gone from a class act and competent coach to hiring a clueless coach with a de able track record-future disaster in making.

starting at 1:10………after being mobbed by his teammates, Lillard immediately finds Nico to high five him
No way Luka will respect the wife-beating bricklayer and tree-stump of a coach, Jason Kidd.
Maybe they would have assets to trade for him if not for trading the 21,23 picks

lol panicking at the thought of a Lillard/Luka backcourt
Trade for Lillard, extend Luka, sign Leonard. Triple-L Dynasty assemble!
