“Among the offers Laso reportedly had been looking at during his break were from NBA franchises. According to one rumor out of Madrid, the 56-year-old specialist could be next in line to coach the Dallas Mavericks in case the organization decided to part ways with Jason Kidd…”
“Per the same report, the coach from Vitoria had been recommended by Luka Doncic to replace Jason Kidd at the helm after a disappointing second part of the season that left the Mavs out of the playoffs.”

Would be good to get some real coaching for once.
hmm just saying.. if you think Rick Carlisle was kinda.. dictatorial(?) to his players, this one is next level. but Luka recommended him and i don’t trust JKidd so let’s do it
C’mon Cuban. The fans and Luka are both saying this. Get a real coach in here. Kidd was a fine placeholder but he fails to make the right adjustments necessary to be a winning team. While I am not hoping for a rough start, I think replacing Kidd early would pay off dividends in the long run.
That would be great in my opinion. Pablo doesn’t know NBA good enough but he would have assistants for that. What is crucial is he has that kind of relationship with Luka that he can tell him anything necessary and Luka won’t hold that against him. He can basically sit him down to make him a point. Luka is a genius at basketball but he still needs guidance to be the best he can. He doesn’t get it enough from Kidd. And he also didn’t from Carlisle.
I have feeling that Coaches Union lobbies against such moves
