Mavs, Gersson Rosas Part Ways

Gersson we hardly knew ye.

In bizarre and unexpected news Marc Stein is reporting that the Mavericks are parting ways with General Manager Gersson Rosas after only three months on the job. According to Stein reasons for the parting are not immediately known.
Rosas was hired from Houston where he was executive vice-president of basketball operations. Rosas was brought in by the Mavs to help in the team's pro and college scouting as Rosas was instrumental in the Rockets D-League affiliate.
All in all its hard to know what to make of this news except it can't be seen as a positive. Rosas was brought in to give a new voice to the front office and now just like that he is gone. Hopefully more will come out on why this breakup happened.

Update: the press release via the Mavs:
 DALLAS—The Dallas Mavericks announced today that Gersson Rosas has resigned as the General Manager.
“I made the personal decision to resign as General Manager of the Dallas Mavericks after determining that the position was not the best fit for me at this point in my career,” said Rosas.  “The decision was made solely by me, as I firmly believe this change is in my best interest.”
“Mark Cuban asked me to reconsider my decision, but graciously accepted my decision and we part as friends, Rosas continued.  “I would like to thank Mark and the Dallas Mavericks for the opportunity.”
“I was disappointed when Gersson told me of his decision, but I understand and all of us wish him the best,” Cuban said.
Rosas was hired as the team’s General Manager on Aug. 1, 2013.
