Luka goneI am more puzzled by hiring this Nike guy, to be honest. I'd be terrified if I was a Mavs fan.
As a mavs fan I’m more worried about Kidd. Kidd is not a good coach. Harrison seems to have a very good rep around the league and has history with Luka. His job is to get free agents here and I think he has a better opportunity to do that than any of the other guys available right now.I am more puzzled by hiring this Nike guy, to be honest.

Who would you suggest take the mavs GM position instead? Look the guy your describing is basically Donnie Nelson. Great scout, but couldn’t recruit anyone for the life of him. Even with a franchise player like Dirk to market, no one was willing to go to Dallas. I’m sure LA and New York can afford to do that but Dallas cannot, it’s not a destination city. Plus they don’t have the luxury of sitting around, Luka wants to win right now and if they can’t deliver he’s gone.I hate this trend of top front office executives being hired based on connections rather than merit. Not saying all of them are bad at their jobs but it sucks for all the qualified candidates who worked their way up the ladder.

Players like him, but thats about itI dont get appeal of Kidd
He wasn't that good a coach in Milwaukee IMO
