08:13 AM ET 08.17 | Rick Carlisle's options appear to be drying up. The Mavericks' search for a successor to lead assistant coach Terry Stotts will continue without two of the prime names [Carlisle] had been targeting. Former Toronto Raptors coach Jay Triano, according to NBA coaching sources, is poised to join Stotts' staff in Portland as opposed to coming to Dallas. That means Stotts and Los Angeles Lakers-bound Steve Clifford, two highly regarded assistants that sources say Carlisle was eyeing, are off the market. Former New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns assistant coach Phil Weber remains a Mavs candidate, sources said. ... Two coaching sources said late Thursday that a new name to watch in the Mavs' search, who fulfills the head-coaching prerequisites, is Jim O'Brien.

Seems like a lot of assistant coaches are moving this year. Interesting that is not just players in this off-season.
Carlisle is a good coach and the Mavs are re-building themselves. Looks like a good place to be for an assistant.

Yeah, that's an interesting line. I thought Cuban was happy with Carlisle. And no report of any "falling out."

Otis, you're a Mavs guy. Any report of Carlisle wanting to leave or Cuban wanting him to go? See jgb's highlight on head coaching reqs.

Sorry, I don't think they're getting on the podium. All of a sudden, this team is in a world of hurt.
