I read something yesterday that Nellie said Paul Pierce was his favorite player in that draft but he had to hold his promise to Donnie to draft Dirk. Both great players, but I would think the Mavs franchise would have looked much different without Dirk.
BTW, Donnie probably had to go. It was time. He had some duds. But on his resume, he can list Dirk, Luka, Brunson, and supposedly pushing for Giannis. Not bad. I wonder if he is done in the NBA or if he would ever want to get back into the grind. I would think some fanbases would overlook his mistakes if you could list those four names above.
