NEWS: Donnie out | Nico Harrison (Nike) as Pres/GM | Fin as VP | Dirk as Advisor

Nah.

Ok reading the source piece not just the tweet.  reading more from the source more than just the tweet, it helps some, especially because Doncic is expected to sign the extension. 
It still sounds overall though like some distance is there between Doncic and Dallas brass.  

But when news broke Wednesday that the Mavericks and longtime team president Donnie Nelson had “mutually” parted ways, Doncic’s current feelings about the NBA franchise for which he plays became very relevant.

Doncic and Nelson have been close since Doncic was a teenager, so it was not surprising Thursday when Doncic expressed personal disappointment about Nelson’s departure.
“It was kind of tough to me,” Doncic told reporters during the press conference in his hometown of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

“I really like Donnie. [I’ve known] him since I was a kid and he was the one that drafted me. It was tough to me, seeing that, but I’m not the one making decisions there.”

“There” of course is Dallas, where for the first time since 1997 a Nelson is not general manager of the Mavericks. Don Nelson was coach and general manager from 1997 to 2005. When Don stepped down in 2005, Donnie added the title of general manager to that of president of basketball operations, which he earned in July 2002.

A source told The News that Doncic did not learn that Nelson and the Mavericks were parting ways until Wednesday, and that he spent much of the evening digesting the news. Slovenia is seven hours ahead of Dallas, so when he spoke on Thursday it was afternoon in Slovenia.
Despite the jarring news, all indications are that nothing has changed Doncic’s mind about signing the five-year, $201.5 million supermax contract extension for which he qualified for after making the All-NBA team twice in his first three seasons as a Maverick.

Dallas are essentially protected by the rules add to the CBA to prevent young players from bolting quickly from the team that drafted them.  Good thing for sure that has slowed the Lebron era player pick up era. 

We have seen though that players get around this somewhat when the contract nears an end by simply letting it be known they want out.  Cuban and Mavs fortunately have time on their side after the contract is signed.
