Can't stand the Mavs, but it's a good hire.

Who is them? No one from Michigan.

I wish the NBA could back to the days when they could indisputably claim they had the best athletes in the world. Cuban spearheaded the rules change that screwed us all. I'm thinking 1996. Jordan was unquestionably the best athlete in the world. 9 June 1996, Kobe had the best draft workout in the history of sports as a 17 year old. 

The consensus greatest pre-draft workout in American sports history belongs to 17-year-old Kobe Bryant during his legendary 1996 session with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Held at the Inglewood YMCA, Lakers General Manager Jerry West originally scheduled the session as a favor to Bryant's agent. To test the high schooler, West matched him up in a 45-minute, one-on-one session against Michael Cooper, a recently retired Lakers defensive legend, former Defensive Player of the Year, and 9-time NBA All-Defensive selection. Bryant dominated the veteran so completely that West famously stopped the session early, stating it was the "greatest workout I've ever seen" and immediately declaring, "He's better than anybody we have on our team right now." This singular workout forced West to orchestrate a trade for the 13th overall pick to secure Bryant, fundamentally altering NBA history.

Moustapha Thiam come on down to the 40 young man!

Wow Dusty has had a crazy few years. From FAU to national champ and NBA coach within 3 years.

Can Michigan players enter the portal since he left?

Yes. 15 day window is open. Texas has like one scholarship I think left. I’d love to add Thiam which would make us Natty favorites. Don’t know if the money is there for it.

Big time hire. Well done Mav's.

Billy Donovan to Michigan

May has had one of the most successful runs in coaching I can remember. FAU to the Mavericks in 3 years is pretty darn impressive, adding in a NCAAT championship along the way.

Don’t forget he took FAU to the final four along with the Michigan Natty.

Boynton does do it for me, Schertz is an interesting hire if they go that route, Donovan makes a lot of since though?

Texas isn't going to get a starter level player from Michigan for multiple reasons. 1. NIL spend is high on those guys, and they are starters. 2. Michigan will hire a very good coach, and those guys on the team are making big NIL there. 3. So many schools are already very near or tapped out on NIL for their 2026-27 team.
