>[MacMahon] At Mark Cuban’s request, Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley and a select group of trusted, longtime staffers met with him yesterday to discuss the franchise’s path forward.
Is it time for Dirk to hire himself as POBO. Will we see JKidd back in Dallas? Is this just a PR move? Are the Mavs screwed?
Hello, I am back with another cold case from the Gem State. I apologize for my absence- I was moving into a new place, so that has taken all of my energy. I have chosen this case because there is a possibly big-time update coming up as of this week.
Patricia "Patty" Lee Otto [DOB: 8/4/1952] was a 24-year-old woman living in Lewiston, ID. Lewiston sits right on the WA/ID border. Not much is known about her upbringing. At the time of her disappearance, Patty was married to Ralph Otto and had two young daughters, ages 3 and 5, who were her whole world.
Ralph and Patty's marriage was known to be volatile. Ralph was said to have been abusing alcohol, which could cause him to get violent. It got so bad that in the spring of 1976, Patty filed for divorce. However, they quickly reconciled.
On the evening of August 31, 1976, Ralph and Patty got into what was described as a "raging argument." Patty had arrived home a little later after spending the evening with her parents. Due to her late arrival, Ralph accused Patty of cheating on him. After the argument, Patty stormed out, leaving behind all of her possessions, including her rings and purse. She did not say goodnight to her girls. She was never seen again.
The next day, Ralph took the girls to Patty's sister's house, claiming that he was going to go look for her. However, Patty was not reported missing until Oct. 8th- over a month later. And it was her sister that called her in, not even Ralph.
Ralph was and has been, the main person of interest in this case. The police made several attempts to try him, but there was never enough evidence to allow them to do the tasks that would have allowed them to investigate further, such as issuing a search warrant for the "secret room" and whatnot. On top of this, about a year after Patty disappeared, he was tried and convicted of trying to hire a hitman to kill the lead investigator of the case. For some reason, this was overturned by the Idaho Supreme Court in 1981 on a technicality.
Whatever happened with Patty, will likely remain with Ralph. In 1981, Ralph had a heart attack and died while in jail on an unrelated charge. And unfortunately, more tragedy befell the family later on. One of Patty's daughters died from carbon monoxide poisoning on a boat with her husband and son in 2006.
Here is where the update comes in: in August 1978, a couple of hunters came upon a body of a young, blonde woman at the Finley Creek Cow Camp in Union County, OR. She is now known

I would not be mad at this combination. That's a lot of Basketball IQ right there and we would really gain a big connection network from these people. If they work together that's a hell of a front-office.
Also if we give Jason Kidd good Assistant Coaches (Mosley please stay!) I could also Kidd to be a good Head Coach for us. But he needs some help ... veterans assistant coaches? defensive minded ones?
Finn, Finley, Finnegan, Finnian or Finneas… Which one is your favorite? Which one is your least favorite? Bonus points if you rank them from favorite to least favorite. Can you think of any other names that lend the nickname “Finn”?
Dirk rejected Nash cause he wants to only work for the Mavs. Him and Finley seem to be close as well. To add, Dirk and Finley have been the guys that Mark listens to which is important.
Positives:
- Rick will stay
- Mark will STFU
- Free agents will want to come because of their high profile and general reputations as being player friendly.
- Donnie survived this long because of his excellent international scouting network. Hiring two guys who knows him will preserve that.
- Dirk is respected by both Porzingis and Doncic. So, if anyone can fix their relationship, it's him.
Negatives:
- Dirk's lack of experience but James Jones has been uber successful and Finley can guide him. Furthermore, it's Free Agents league and you just need to be charismatic these days.
Who should I play in right field?
This is a lame question, but should I wrap up the NL West for Finley (just missing Tatis, Belly/Mookie so about 280k) or just snag Degrom (more or less the same price)?
I don't have explicit needs at either position but a lefty swinging OF would always be a welcome addition as is DeGOAT as a fun little DH super pitcher type deal...
For added context, I am essentially just missing the gatekeepers of the NL, so if I get Degrom I still need Acuna to wrap up that division so Glavine is still far away, but I'd be able to get Franco pretty easily following Degrom's purchase, just missing Lindor and Mccann.
