"It was kind of tough to me. I really like Donnie. I know him since I was a kid and he was the one that drafted me. It was tough for me seeing that, but I'm not the one making decisions there."

Certain members of Zion Williamson's family want the rising star on another team.

So it still appears very likely that Luka signs the supermax. But from this vantage point, that dynamic is all kinds of bad right now. Luka is close to Donnie. Luka doesn't like Haralabos' influence. There's the Luka/Carlisle component. Yeah, not great.https://t.co/VOxj6FFjL5

Rick Carlisle -- who led Dallas to the 2011 NBA championship -- informed Mavericks owner Mark Cuban today that he won't be returning as coach next season, Carlisle told ESPN. Carlisle had two years left on his contract. He spent 13 seasons as Mavericks coach.

NBA stat: Marvin Bagley and Luka Doncic have now both won the same number of playoff series and endured the same number of organizational collapses

Mark Cuban to ESPN: “I truly love Rick Carlisle. He was not only a good coach but also a friend and a confidant. Our relationship was so much more than basketball. And I know that won’t ever change."

Meanwhile, Mark Cuban is channeling both the Golden Girls theme song AND Crown Downtown!

One thing Cuban has going for him is a winning legacy. Now, whether it was his doing or not, it gives him rope. But oh boy, watching him find himself closer the top of the **** list of owners would be so awesome. Why get better when everyone else can just get worse? lol.

Cuban told the media he wasn't going to fire Carlisle less than a week ago and that the athletic guys were lying only to fire his gm a day later..

They were hoping to be dealing with an unceremonious LA Clippers elimination by now, with a usual Playoff P performance...so they are getting their dysfunctional organization storyline fix in other ways.
