Dallas Mavericks to Hire Larry Brown

Well, they will sometime around the middle of June. After last night — and I promise, I’m not knee-jerking — it’s clear the Mavs don’t have enough time to get on the same  wavelength with each other and, more important, coach Avery Johnson. So … I figure they get knocked out in the first round, or squeak into the second. Avery is fired/resigns and Cubes, unable to improve the team substantially through the draft or free agency, does the next best thing and gets a coach with playoff experience and something to prove and somebody who, even better, will quit as soon as it’s time to reload/rebuild. That someone is … me. But he’ll hire Larry Brown anyway.
