?[The Mavs] seek his input, but he?s not heavily involved in personnel decisions,? said MacMahon of Doncic's work alongside owner Mark Cuban, GM Nico Harrison, coach Jason Kidd and the rest of the organization. ?He has not shown interest in being heavily involved. He spends much of his offseason in Europe. He?s not a guy who has shown the desire to be a recruiter.?
Perhaps all of this ? NBA players? pettiness and Doncic lacking a desire to recruit ? will change at some point in the near future. |
I think it's huge. Both are white, did not go through the AAU program here, no high school ball. So socially they are behind the 8 ball. They look like Woody Harrelson, not Wesley Snipes, so assumptions are made. It's a racial thing, it happened to Dirk, no big name free agents came here in their prime during Dirk's run, who wants to share the spotlight with a white guy? Jeremy Lin ran through the same thing, didn't look the part, doesn't belong, so he's out of the league.....even though he has a bit more to offer than a Goran Dragic. They would rather sign up with Harden or Irving, known basket cases.
