EDIT: Also funny you are playing with Dela Cruz's ball club.
Cuban: “Damn, I’m sick of this...of not getting that success we are striving for…yes, we have made it to the Finals in 2006 with him, that team’s only finals appearance having 2-0 lead…and later have lost 4 consecutive games…I’ve just thought maybe it’s not on the player nor on the coach…maybe it’s in the main brain of the team, the GM…Donn Nelson made a very good job in leading the team in his tenure. But I mean, with the roster we got right now, it is just ring or nothing…and we end up on getting nothing. Thanks a lot, Donn…good luck to your journey.”
Press: “In firing Donn, you have to get an experienced Hall-of-Fame caliber GM if you want things to get better. So, who’s the new GM?”
Cuban: “Well, he is not exactly what you expect, but he is the chosen one that will lead my team to success. I’d like you all to meet the new GM, Kaiser D.”
Press (silently and shocked): “Kaiser what? Who the hell is that person?! Is Cuban on drugs?”
Cuban: “Stop all of those fusses and doubts. I just have this “confidence” in this guy-confidence that he will never let my trust be trash. He will lead us to victory. I have strong feeling of that.”
Press: ”Uh-oh, they will be in trouble.”
Another Press: “Yup, you get it right, pal. They’ll be in a big trouble.”
He was instrumental in rebuilding a team that suffered a decade long playoff draught into a perennial playoff team and championship contender. During his tenure, the Mavericks have won 66% of their games with three 60+ win seasons, including a franchise record 67 win season in 2007 which tied for the sixth best regular season in NBA history. The Mavericks are also one of just six NBA franchises to win 60 games or more three times in a five year span. During his tenure, the Mavericks have also made the playoffs seven consecutive seasons, been to the Western Conference Finals twice, reached a franchise milestone in 2006 when they advanced to the NBA Finals, and won their first Division Title in 20 years in 2007.
On the roster, Donnie Nelson has acquired players through key trades (Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse, Erick Dampier, Trenton Hassell), success in the NBA Draft (Devin Harris, All-Star Josh Howard and 2007 MVP Dirk Nowitzki), and free agency (Eddie Jones, Devean George, DeSagana Diop). On previous teams Nelson played a significant role in acquiring players such as two-time MVP Steve Nash and All-Star/Sixth Man of the Year Antawn Jamison.
Nelson successfully coached the Mavericks while his father and former head coach Don Nelson was recovering from cancer surgery in 2000-2001. Donnie led the team to a 15-8 record while serving as head coach. He was the top assistant to his father at Golden State, where he served the organization a total of eight seasons ('86-'94). Nelson was also a regional scout for the Milwaukee Bucks for two seasons ('84-'86).
He isn’t new in the world of basketball. Born in the Philippines, this new GM of the Dallas Mavericks coached before in the PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) with the Brgy. Ginebra Kings. In his 3 years experience as the Kings coach, He won Coach of the year in that three years stint and led the team into three swept championships. He also played for the same team five years ago, winning his one and only ring as a player. He also named season MVP and Finals MVP in that year. He knew it would be a bigger help for the team if he would be their head coach.
Despite of all his achievements, many basketball analysts still doubt if he would be a great GM for the Mavs. Not on his words, but through his actions, he will remove those doubts and will be a reliable GM as Cuban expects him to be.

Good luck.
After more than one and a half year here at NLSC, I've decided to make my own dynasty.

End of any racist discussion.
Inside the Magic camp, the dominant center Dwight Howard further widens his arsenal of weapons. Looks like he will have some time in the 2 spot.
"The Answer" finally found the answer to people's question in where would be his next club. Allen Iverson decided to sign in a one year, 3.1M contract with, no other than, his first home-Philadelphia 76ers. "Before I would "really" retire, I would like to bring back the ol' good days with my very first NBA team, and (cry, cry) hopefully good things will happen." he said in an interview. He is expected to start at the point, making Lou Wlliams as the sitxh man. His first game as a Sixer againwould be at home against the Thunder.
