Wow.
In light of his tenure and his contributions for so long, Donnie's exit from the Mavs had felt way weird. He was always very loyal, but the parting of ways was never really talked about at all, and there was never even the typical fluff you get in praising a guy for his positives as you send him on his way. Didn't they win a title under his watch?! No interviews with Donnie, either, to find out what he felt and how he saw the termination.
Later, his absence from the Dirk jersey retirement was super puzzling. It was like the Mavs wanted to act like he never existed.
Plus, when he was fired, why did RC feel compelled to quit right after that?
Now we know ... and gotta say, this does offer a rational reason for the odd series of events .. and imo the recitations and allegations are alarming on so many levels.
