RE: NEWS: Donnie Nelson sues Dallas Mavericks - SkenfromLMF - 03-18-2022 So timelines as I understand it regarding money: Donnie turned down $60+ mil for 10 yrs as Pres. of Basketnall Ops Countered with $70+ mil, and was approached regarding an NDA in the process... Then everything fell apart: Bob article, Rick left, Donnie relieved. Nico and Kidd brought on board. Donnie was then approached with a severance for $50+ million which also included the NDA. Cue Don Henley's End of the Innocense where lawyers dwell on small details.

But I just can’t come to grips with these 2 things: "Yeah, I can’t believe the 52mm. Just no way." The $52M offer doc was attached and filed as part of the lawsuit itself. You can read it. It's written as a "please sign here" doc, from MC/his companies. The cover email, when it was sent to Donnie's lawyer, is also attached and part of the filing. I seriously doubt that they would be including bogus docs which were not real (or even a counterfeit doc) in that context. Do you think otherwise?

It's explicitly in the offer, yes. In fact, there was a provision in which it would be $54M,not $52M (depending on whether the federal tax rate for 2022 was increased).

But I still don’t believe it. There has to be another explanation, no? (Or there isn’t and I’m wrong. Happens all the time, most recently in my NCAA bracket.) Sken said a few posts ago that the 52 was a severance package. Is he wrong? That seems crazy high for what I think of as severance. But it’s easier to believe there are valuable components in an NBA exec’s severance package that I don’t know about than it to believe they offered that kind of dough for shutting up or that he said no to it. RE: NEWS: Donnie Nelson sues Dallas Mavericks - MFFL - 03-18-2022 Maybe the $52m has something to do with buying out the Legends RE: NEWS: Donnie Nelson sues Dallas Mavericks - F Gump - 03-18-2022 (03-18-2022, 10:52 PM)Jommybone Wrote: No, I agree with your serious doubt.

"Sken said a few posts ago that the 52 was a severance package." Okay ... but isn't that what the lawsuit is, essentially, an allegation of wrongful termination that requests compensation for said termination? The wording of the 52M offer seems it was primarily an attempt to make the just-filed EEOC complaint disappear, which was filed about wrongful termination (alleging it was retaliation for pushing to implement justice in the workplace), and a complaint that MC alleges was just lies based on other lies. I don't disagree with you that the 52M is puzzling and seems way contradictory actions to MC's stance that Donnie is just making up crap. Frankly, so does the 66M 10-year offer, if as MC alleges it was just a response to Donnie trying to blackmail the team based on a whole pack of lies. Here's what I see - both MC and Donnie know if this is all lies like MC says. They both know who is lying and who isn't, and they both know the other knows too. So how could MC be supposedly "blackmailed" into offers of 66 and 52, if as he says it was 100% just fiction made up all along, and both he and Donnie knew that? Those offers make no sense to me, for MC to make them if he is responding to pure fiction (as his response alleges). So if it isn't pure fiction like MC claims in his response, then MC is lying about that much, and who knows what else. But -- that's only my reaction for now, and I'm with you in the feeling that there is way more that we will find out in time. We just don't know what we don't know. The rest of the story is still out there.

Nothing about the Legends in the offer. It was money offered in exchange for 'recant your EEOC complaint, we both say nice things about each other going forward (the wording is included in the doc), and you don't say anything else.'

That is true. But they were actually discussing the new 10 year contract not that long before. A thing that seemingly fell apart because of non basketball related stuff that was going on (either Donnie or MC version of it). So only after the things went bad because of other reasons, the basketball related stuff was brought up RE: NEWS: Donnie Nelson sues Dallas Mavericks - SleepingHero - 03-19-2022 https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/1505006004911620097 RE: NEWS: Donnie Nelson sues Dallas Mavericks - khaled1987 - 03-19-2022 (03-19-2022, 02:26 AM)SleepingHero Wrote: https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/1505006004911620097 His renewal makes more sense now.

I guess that's something you and Donnie agree on, even if he was creepy when he said it. RE: NEWS: Donnie Nelson sues Dallas Mavericks - Jommybone - 03-20-2022 RBWS, not sure how to respond, but here goes. When I was 22 and in need of cash, I signed up for a pharma study that was 24/7 for something like 10 days. On the first day they were just qualifying us all, and I got to know a few of my cohorts while waiting in line to get poked and prodded. After about 6 hours of that, I came back from my one-on-one visit with the study doc. I told one of my new amigos something like, “That wasn’t much fun.” And he said something non-committal back. So I got more specific and said, “I really didn’t enjoy the rectal exam.” He looked at me like I was crazy and said, “They gave you a rectal exam?” I replied, “They didn’t give you a rectal exam???!!!” So my “buddy” goes up and down the waiting line, “Did they give you a rectal exam?” “You?” “You?” Nope, just me. I went and asked at the nurse’s station why I was the only one who got a rectal exam. She said she’d ask the doctor. 5 mins later she came out and announced that I was dismissed from the study and that the doctor was “coming back to give everyone a rectal exam.” I got the hell out fast as I could while my compatriots stared daggers at me from all directions. No joke. Kansas City. 1991. RE: NEWS: Donnie Nelson sues Dallas Mavericks - RasheedsBigWhiteSpot - 03-20-2022 (03-20-2022, 08:32 AM)Jommybone Wrote: RBWS, not sure how to respond, but here goes.

I think the common denominator is people become intoxicated by their power positions and do or say things they otherwise wouldn't, or get away with it because of their authority. The worst part of your story is that by you telling someone of his unethical behavior, the doctor, the perpetrator, is rewarded by getting to finger bang a room full of other people. Meanwhile, because you told, there's a room full of guys who wrongly hate you for putting them in the same position. It's maddening. RE: NEWS: Donnie Nelson sues Dallas Mavericks - ItsGoTime - 03-20-2022 I think the fans should sue MC for offering Donnie another 10 years to manage the crap show!
