BOOM! Will the gambler with the name that sounds like a genital disease be promoted to GM?

Certainly time to clean house. Good scouting the Euro market (Dirk, Giannis, etc.), but hasn't done much else

His contract is up and more than likely gone

Is this the guy Luka didn’t like? If so that makes sense

No. This is our longtime GM. He has been with the team for as long as I can recall.

I also don’t pay attention to much of the NBA so hopefully I didn’t make that up.

No, Luka isn't too fond of the director of quantitative research and development Voulgaris if you want to believe the "anonymous sources" Athletic article.

You'll see if Luka isn't fond of him because Voulgaris' contract is up

Athletic is usually pretty solid on their reporting

"I have zero interest in leaving Dallas,'' Carlisle tells us.

This meshes nicely with the view of Dallas Mavericks ownership as well.

"He isn't going anywhere," owner Mark Cuban proclaimed regarding Carlisle’s job security, even in the wake of the Game 7 NBA Playoffs loss at the Clippers, meaning Dallas has yet to win a playoff series since the Mavs captured the NBA title in 2011.


Keep trying Piñata/Groupie

Yeah Athletic is usually pretty good.

The rumor of Luka being annoyed by front office suits is nothing new. These rumors have been around all year.

While true, you always have to wonder what axe to grind an anonymous source potentially has, whether they are pissed with how they are being treated (which could pertain to Donnie if he is that source) or if they are from another time tried to further plant those seeds of doubt in Luka's head Dallas isn't the place to be

Cuban should throw an ocean of cash at Ujiri. Don't think he's re-upped with the Raps yet.

And come around so often in the NBA



If Luka truly has an issue with anyone with the organization, Cuban wouldn't waste much time in rectifying the issue
