Ex-Mavs exec: Discord like 'high school drama'
Haralabos Voulgaris, the Mavericks' former director of quantitative research and development who became a polarizing figure within the organization as his influence increased, compared the franchise's dysfunction during his tenure to "high school drama."
The paragraph that caught my eye relative to these parts:
Voulgaris noted that the Mavericks had not had a front office employee get hired in a more prominent role by another franchise during Nelson's two-decade tenure as president of basketball operations. Voulgaris attributed that to Nelson not wanting any strong candidates working under him, citing Gersson Rosas' three-month stint as the Mavs' GM in 2013 as an example of Nelson eliminating a potential threat.
