There is a clarity in the organizational flow chart that was murky in the past. Cuban, despite his claims after selling the majority share of the franchise midseason to the Adelson and Dumont families, no longer has control of basketball operations. Harrison reports to new governor Patrick Dumont, who is kept informed but has shown trust in Harrison to handle roster personnel matters. Dumont rewarded both Harrison and Kidd with multi-year contract extensions during this playoff run.

ESPN Sources: After one season, the Detroit Pistons have dismissed coach Monty Williams — who leaves with five years and $65M-plus left on his deal. New President Trajan Langdon will move to make his own coaching hire now. pic.twitter.com/QHKivQS5o2— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 19, 2024

the 65 million is a nice consolation, but it's still that sad Monty can't live out his dream of coaching the Detroit Pistons for the next 5 years

perhaps constantly running out bench-heavy lineups with the worst roster in the league was part of a 'the producers'-like plot

a thing to watch with jj is hes pretty fascinated with mazzulla he talks about him all the time on the pod has interviewed him, now why would jj be so interested in joey mazz, i think its because he did nerd basketball more fully than anyone else has and obvs had great success with it, is jj gonna go full analytics and if so how will bron and ad feel about that
― lag∞n, Thursday, 20 June 2024 19:34 (three months ago) link
Owning 27% of the team and still being in the seat for team decisions seems like a good deal for how much money Cuban made. The partners are all tied up in gambling money, I’m sure keeping Cuban was partially to keep it seeming a bit more legit and from player and team management angles- Dallas seems to be pretty well run for all pro sports in general.
― The Artist formerly known as Earlnash, Thursday, 20 June 2024 19:43 (three months ago) link
wonder why he sold maybe just profit taking would make sense but sounds like hes out on day to day dallas mavericks stuff big question is did he retain jumbotron replay privileges
― lag∞n, Thursday, 20 June 2024 19:49 (three months ago) link
fwiw dallas under his watch was definitively not a well run team, major scandal, weird personnel decisions, all sorts of behind the scenes dysfunction
― lag∞n, Thursday, 20 June 2024 19:52 (three months ago) link
is jj gonna go full analytics and if so how will bron and ad feel about that probably the most entertaining this team will be is in the drama department so bring it on. Not like they are anything more than a second round playoff exit at best.
