But yeah, we need to fire Carlisle and Donnie, and Cuban needs to sell the team.

All of that is fine and dandy, but when I look at the amount of salary dedicated to JJ, Powell, THJ, Burke, WCS, and Iwundu it is over $50M in contracts. It is also a short-term resource that could be leveraged, in theory, to improve the team (JJ and THJ are expiring). I would hope the MBT are looking to improve the team and not just assuming they have a championship roster.
