RE: Nellie out a couple of weeks
Again, I'll state that this is a conspiracy. The Mavs needed a roster spot to magically appear at the beginning of the season. They worked out an agreement w/ AJ to retire. Part of that agreement was to let him be the head coach for a handful of games throughout the regular season. They would be grilled in the press if they admitted this. The rotator cuff surgery (in the MIDDLE of the season) is just another way to get AJ his necessary games as the head coach to fulfill the agreement they made so that he would retire at the beginning of the season.
