Mark Cuban: 'The idea that there is a shadow GM is ridiculous'
Jordan Schultz: Asked Mark Cuban about the “bullshit” Luka report. His response, via text: “I listen to everyone. And I certainly listen to Luka. The whole idea that there is a shadow GM is ridiculous.”
Taylor Rooks: Just spoke to Mark Cuban about the recent reports: “I pay close attention to what Luka says, what the front office, analytics group and our scouts say. What Rick says. The idea that there is a shadow GM is laughable. The idea that anyone but Rick sets rotations is insulting”

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving could miss time after suffering an ankle injury in Game 4 of his team’s second-round matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski provided an update Monday on KJZ: “I don’t think there’s a great expectation that he can turn this around and be ready for Game 5,” Wojnarowski reported.
He noted James Harden has made “progress” in his recovery from a hamstring injury, but he could also miss the game Tuesday. These injuries are a concern for a Brooklyn team that is in championship-or-bust mode. When one or both of the guards is out, it puts pressure on Kevin Durant to carry the team.
