Well, Nico Harrison CEO acknowledged shortly after making a store worried about the team defense, Bugaboo Doncic. Trading for Anthony Davis It certainly helps in the area.
But Donšić – well, was – a franchise stone foundation.
“I understand why [fans] would be shocked, at first, “Harrison said Dallas Morning News.
