I mean Hinkie did end up fired. I feel like for an NBA executive “being employed” is a big barometer of success

Hinkie quit with a rambling 13 page manifesto.

Dang, this makes me sad. Wish it was more accurate. The thread has more examples of why it isn't reliable:

Hey how is the Mark Cuban "I Knew Nothing At All" Minimize The Damage Tour coming along
https://deadspin.com/fired-mavericks-employee-i-signed-a-contract-that-said-1823181772

quote:

While both instances described in the report are damning and language used is not accurate, the two relationships described in the report are not something I am proud to have been a part of. I underwent much counseling after both situations, under the direction of Buddy Pittman, and I feel like I grew from that counseling. I also signed a contract stating that I would not have one-on-one contact or fraternize with female employees after the inaccurately described incident with my female co-worker, who was a live-in girlfriend. I abided by the details of that contract for four years, and received counseling during that period to avoid future instances.

I thank Buddy Pittman for helping me to grow during that time, and I thank Mark Cuban for his willingness to help facilitate that growth.

Id imagine deflections are equally as unreliable. Even coming to a conclusion on what even should be counted as a deflection is really hard to come to.

I'm shocked that the guy who tried to get a writer fired for making fun of Dirk would harbor a hostile work environment built on suppressing complaints.

a literal thing you think.

Tony "Murder She" Wroten is probably my fave NBA nickname of the past half decade.

I would just talk non-stop about the team Colangelo put together and what a bright future they have.

Alternatively, loudly and angrily accuse Hinkie of using voodoo to put the yips on Fultz.

A friend of mine literally ran into Erick Dampier who was with Cuban at a rap concert (I forget who) a million years ago. Might have been him trying to seem cool, no idea.
