You mention in an earlier post as to Avery chaning the landscape of this team by getting rid of Mbenga and Diop and keeping/getting Ju How and Allen. Is this his decision? I thought that was done by Donnie. How about the Kidd trade itself. From most points of view, we all thought Avery wanted this trade, but then he consistently threw Kidd under the bus.

I'm trying to figure out who is making player decisions and how much of the pie is split between Donnie, Cuban, and Avery. Not sure if you have anymore inside info than any of us here, but your probably the best to set the record straighter than it is today.
A solid question and it goes both to the ability of ko'ach as well as Donnie. You would think avery is on board with JKidd, but you have to also think that donnie is completely on board as well.

Every move that's been made the last three years has to be moves that donnie has agreed with I would think. It hasn't been a pretty personnel transition.
