[MacMahon] Doncic would be eligible to sign a 5YR/$345M extension in the summer. That deal would be an awful investment, Harrison told Dumont, pointing to Doncic’s conditioning concerns, poor off-court habits and recurring calf strains, predicting that his body would break down.
Harrison built his case from a business perspective. Doncic would be eligible to sign a five-year, $345 million supermax contract extension in the summer. That deal would be an awful investment, Harrison told Dumont, pointing to Doncic’s conditioning concerns, poor off-court habits and recurring calf strains, predicting that his body would break down.
Doncic’s camp and Harrison had several disagreements regarding the recovery process from the calf strain that sidelined the superstar at the time, which the GM portrayed to Dumont as proof that Doncic was not fully committed to the Mavs.
Harrison also blamed the Mavs’ five-game elimination to the Boston Celtics in the Finals on Doncic’s defensive struggles. He pitched Dumont on his vision of building the league’s best defense around Davis, who Harrison had been close with since Davis was a teen playing on the AAU circuit.
