Whole article is about that Vulgaris guy. I doubt Cuban, if push comes to shove, chooses him over Luka. He's signing the extension. This is year 2 of his NBA career and articles are coming out like he's KG in year 10 in Minnesota lmao.

Cuban's response so far doesn't look good if I'm a Mavs fan. Defending the dude in the article's quotes and calling it BS on Twitter.

Would be better to fire the guy ASAP, if theres any inkling he's rubbing the franchise player and basketball people the wrong way.

While it sounds absurd from our perspective, it's how capitalism operates. Most management in the USA doesn't give a shyt about their product and is only in it to make money, not a big surprise for professional sports to get to that point too.

If the shyt in the article is true though, it would be interesting to hear how he got all that fukking power considering it's clearly not part of the job description.
No breh, I mean he only watches basketball to make money. As in enriching HIS pockets.

I am not hating on it, but that's not what qualifies you to make NBA roster decisions.

Hawks brehs we dodged a bullet :whew:

Cant blame Luka for being unhappy in Dallas and potentially wanting out…clock is ticking Mavs

Honestly. I don't think it's any bullet dodged because this is a front office issue. The Dallas FO has been incompetent going on a decade now. Young, Doncic, Ayton, or even Dirk in his prime would have problems with this Dallas FO.

You got any examples of the type of stuff he used to say?? Apologies if you already posted it, I didn’t read past this specific post.
This was years ago and when he talked after a while, I would zone out because I couldn't understand why we were listening to him.

He would definitely talk about how to run plays and stuff but it came from the perspective of a guy who didn't play basketball much.

Haralabos Voulgaris Is an arrogant son of a bytch and deserves this article. He used to go on the Bill Simmons podcast back when I listened, and this dude would spew nonsense. Simmons, also being a degenerate gambler, would fawn over him.
That dude always came off shady as hell and he lied about certain aspects of his background. He spun the story that he started with nothing and made millions gambling only for it to come out that his dad was worth millions and he had a huge bankroll to begin with. Supposedly some casinos vouched for him being good with the gambling but I still think he greatly exaggerated just how successful he was with it. I'm curious what kind of information he's providing Cuban with because they already had one of the deepest analytics teams in the league as Cuban had talked for years about how they were doing all kind of data tracking and I think were one of the first teams to adapt the tracking technology that everybody in the NBA eventually transitioned to.

The real story here is Haralabos Voulgaris who parlayed gambling and virtually no real knowledge of basketball into an executive position with the dallas mavericks:wow:. Dude never did shyt but gamble and talk with Bill Simmons on grantland and now he an executive.

Also just about all great players leave if they feel the roster around them is not good enough to win so don't know why someone would think Luka would be different.

Progressive NBA:wow:

Giving a degenerate gambler a major position in your organization because of stories he told about himself which may or may not be true sounds like some Trump White House shyt. :laff:

Behind the scenes he's probably always telling Cuban what an amazing genius and leader he is and how lucky he is to work for a great man like him. :mjlol:

exactly

From what I have read, he is a deep analytics dude who found advantages to make money. It's okay to bring him on board to help with your advanced analytics team, but having him make personnel decisions is insane.

Saying all of that, this does sound like Don Nelson Jr. trying to save his own ass.

This story doesn't seem to have much to do with Luka, but its clickbait.

Hell
he's about to get his post rookie contract extension. So that's what 4 years after that begins. 26-27 season is his last under his upcoming supermax, so if they haven't done shyt by the time the 25-26 season ends......

LWO - Luka World Order in the purple and gold :wow:

Luka seems to be a dikk in real life, he seems like a headache to deal with.

Do you want dude on your team knowing he could snap anytime and make the FO look bad?

Remember he ain't black:smugbiden: at least we know it's a sense of fear and we need to "do what's best for business" but white athletes gives no fukks:heh:
