Live broadcast on 21/0 Tim MacMahon, a member of the Mavericks, wrote an article about a series of moves by Harrison after he became the general manager of the Mavericks.

Longtime senior medical director Kathy Smith, who had been with the Mavericks for nearly 20 years, was fired in 0/0, while athletic performance director Jeremy Hallsople and physical therapist Kathy Spangler were also fired after reaching the Finals last season.

All three are long-time Mavericks employees and helped make Doncic's transition when he landed in the NBA, so the trio are close to Doncic. But despite their high esteem in the league, Harrison sees them as Doncic's "connivers," according to sources. Holthople was named NBA Strength and Conditioning Trainer of the Year in '2012, while Casey Smith served as the chief athletic physical therapist for the U.S. men's basketball team, winning Olympic gold medals in '0 and '0.

Harrison said: "We think the people who replaced them have done a fantastic job, you always look at things from a negative point of view, but I look at it from a positive point of view. The people we bring in are better. ”
