After NBA star Doncic was unexpectedly traded to the Lakers by the Mavericks, there was crazy speculation about the reasons why the team chose to send him away, including rumors that the Mavericks executives were worried about Doncic's injury, his personal weight management was not good, and the management did not want to give Doncic a super maximum salary this summer, but the American media pointed out in the report that there may have been a rift in the relationship between Doncic and the management before the transaction.

ESPN's McMahon and Sherburne reported that because the Mavericks management had doubts about Doncic's personal health and physical management, the Mavericks hoped to stimulate him by firing Doncic's favorite staff, hoping that he could change his habits and routine. Among the staff members who were fired by the Mavericks were former player health and performance director Smith, strength coach Holothorp, and physical therapist Spangler, all of whom happened to be close to Doncic.

And this series of personnel changes caused Doncic's frustration to grow day by day, so much so that he was crazy that the Mavericks management was trying to find a way to get rid of all the staff who had a good relationship with him, and at the same time, after a series of personnel changes, Doncic did not become a more physical and physical player as the management wanted.

In addition, according to ESPN, management has reservations about offering Doncic a $345 million contract extension this summer: "They think it could be a controversial and potentially disastrous decision to give him a $350 million contract, and while Doncic's talent is unquestionable, management has huge doubts about his fitness and work attitude." When the Mavericks were not so willing to offer a salary cap, management ultimately chose to send Doncic to the Lakers.
