Yeah, I'd say Avery's stock as an NBA coach is doing okay. He can actually afford to reject a second- or third-tier job like the Hornets when the terms weren't to his liking, and actually be the object of two or three teams' attention. That's called leverage.
Avery totally made out like a bandit, and came out looking like a prophet, with Carlisle left to tread on the eggshells of Dirk's psyche and endure Cuban's ego-driven tantrums.
