June 14th News Previously, ESPN reporters Jamal Collier and Tim MacMahon wrote an article to analyze the changes in Carlisle's coaching style.

The article said that according to ESPN, in 2020, the Mavericks tried to make deals with all teams with their 18th and 31st picks and sometimes starting and sometimes sixth-man defender Jaylen Brunson in the hope of getting Halliburton before he was selected by the Sacramento Kings at the 12th pick.

Pacers coach Carlisle also said before the finals: "We tried our best to win him and improve the draft pick, but we still failed. I tell you, Cuban tried everything. When Cuban made up his mind to do something, he usually found a solution."
