NEWS: Donnie Nelson sues Dallas Mavericks

[F Gump]

This feels like Donnie looking for one last Mav payday. He got fired from a senior executive job and has not been picked up by another team. So now he’s looking for a final installment for his retirement fund.

While this plays out in the media, let's not lose sight of:
1  Donnie just rejected $52M (!) he was being offered to shut up and go away, right before filing the lawsuit
2  while the league seemingly said things that would support MC's stance, the $52M is incredible evidence too, which would indicate Donnie isn't just trying to grab a few last bucks that he couldn't get some other easier way
3  the shots fired in the media by both sides will leave us confused, perhaps, but we do have ways of resolving such things -- that''s what a trial in front of a "decider of the facts" (ie, judge, jury) is about, to figure it out and come to the proper answer
