105.3 The Fan's Mike Fisher previously reported on Finley's notable absence from the team's press conference to introduce Harrison and head coach Jason Kidd, saying then that Finley wasn't in attendance because he was no longer under contract.
The former Mavs star has been a part of the organization's front office in some capacity since 2012.
Finley, the 21st overall pick in the 1995 NBA Draft, played 15 seasons in the NBA. He has career averages of 15.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists. The two-time All-Star is mostly remembered for his time with the Mavs, where he played with Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash as part of the foundation of the franchise's turnaround under Cuban and the Nelsons.
Finley has performed alongside Cuban, former GM Donnie Nelson, former coach Rick Carlisle and assistant GM Keith Grant in Dallas, learning all aspects of front-office work.
