In reality, Donnie had an at-will contract that Cuban called “lifetime” once in public as a metaphor for how happy he was with Donnie’s work. Donnie didn’t really have a lifetime contract, and stray comments like that don’t result in legally enforceable rights. There is no serious argument that Donnie had a lifetime contract.
Thanks for clearing that up and I'm seeing now that Donnie was actually the one calling it a lifetime contract and the Mavs actually dispute that saying he was "an employee at will".
Wouldn't that still speak to the idea that this was more about getting a raise and not the Mavs doing everything they could for another decade of Donnie?
