Former Mavericks All-Star
Michael Finley, already a member of the team's brain trust as vice
president of basketball operations, has immediately emerged as a
candidate in the club's search for a new head of basketball
operations @NYTSports has learned.
ANALYSIS: Stein also noted that Dallas is
expected to interview a number of external candidates and has
brought on a search firm, Sportsology, to aid in the effort. Still,
Finley, who spent the majoirty of his playing career with the
Mavericks and has worked in the team's front office since 2012,
would prove an obvious candidate should they promote from
within.
