NBA Insider Sam Amick Says Luka Doncic Has A Problem With Dallas Mavericks "Shadow GM"

In the modern era, there have been times where we have seen players clash with front offices. For example, we've seen James Harden sit out games this season on the Rockets due to a disagreement with the front office about his trade request. Harden didn't want to be in a situation where he couldn't compete for the championship, and he eventually got his way and got traded to the Brooklyn Nets.

Luka Doncic rumors: Mark Cuban calls BS on reported rift between Mavericks star, team exec Bob Voulgaris

The Dallas Mavericks are facing a pivotal offseason after blowing two series leads -- up 2-0, and 3-2 -- against the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs. With Luka Doncic's rookie max extension looming this summer, and Kristaps Porzingis signed through at least the next three years, this could be the last summer the Mavericks have significant financial flexibility for a few years. Dallas' future with Doncic as the centerpiece is bright despite two first-round exits in back-to-back seasons.
