Famous reporter: Mavericks target Lindsay, vice president of operations for Pistons, Cuban urges him to serve as GM

6686 Sports News on November 12 According to well-known NBA reporter Mark Stein, after the departure of general manager Nico Harrison, Dallas Mavericks small owner Mark Cuban is actively promoting the team to hire Dennis Lindsay, senior vice president of basketball operations of the Detroit Pistons, as the first choice for the new general manager.

Lindsay has a deep connection with the Mavericks: he served as the team's senior advisor during the 2023-24 season, and only joined Pistons general manager Trajan Langdon's management team last summer. During his tenure with the Pistons, Lindsay became one of the core members of the management, helping the team achieve a historic turn—from 14 wins last season to 44 wins, and only lost six games to the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs.

This veteran manager has a rich league resume: before playing for the Mavericks, he worked for the Utah Jazz for 11 years, serving as executive vice president of basketball operations for 2 years, general manager for 7 years and senior basketball consultant for 2 years. Earlier, he also served in the management of the San Antonio Spurs. Throughout his career, he has excellent team construction and tactical vision.
