    He is a Mavs.

    That's all the evidence we need.

    Because he is the type of guy that would invite a neighbor over to his apartment and then hold her down and rape her.

    You are using logic.... some people do not use logic.... sometimes people hire their brother to be their agent... sometimes people do really reckless things.

    Wow..... the Mavs were DESPERATE.

    The optics for the Mavericks are great.... Cuban lets his executives and low level employees play grab ass with all females in the organization. The Mavs get busted... and then trades for a dude accused of raping his neighbor.

    Great job Cuban.... what is next for the Mavericks? Maybe they can let all fans with a criminal record for sexual assault get buy one and get one free beers or maybe have spousal abuse night at a home game next year.

    Doncic better get on it, he has been in Dallas for almost a year and I haven’t heard of any harassment claims yet.

    What's the problem with him hiring his brother as his agent? The guy is an NBAPA certified agent. It is any worse than hiring some other random agent?

    No idea if he raped her... but if he ever committed to paying her $68,000; then he is a damn fool.

    The Mavs knew and still traded for him, after going trough all that sexual assault stuff? I guess talent always wins out.

    In my experience, there’s not much good happens after midnight in the big city.

    so as a guy these days, someone at sometime years later can make something up about you (not saying its the case here --but innocent until guilty) and you are treated guilty. This can't keep continuing.

    You can still walk and run with a torn ACL, you just can't make elite athletic moves. Hell Rajon Rondo played finished a whole quarter without realizing he tore his. Kristaps was also seen walking around that night. He drank tequila with his friends and brothers that night as well and was reported home that whole rest of the week.

    Who are his clients?

    His brother. That is it.

    How long has he been an agent?

    Not long.

    Why would hiring some random agent be a good idea either?

    He could hire an established and pedigreed agent.

    Usually hiring inexperienced family members to broker deals worth tens of millions of dollars isn’t a good idea.

    Hopefully it works out for him.

    He did. He had a well-known and pedigreed primary agent (Andy Miller) - the brother was just working with him. Guess how well that worked out? That established agent is now under FBI investigation for bribery and fraud:

    http://sportsagentblog.com/2017/12/06/nba-agent-andy-miller-gives-up-certification-amidst-fbi-probe/

    So when that guy withdrew from being an agent, his brother took over full-time. You're a 20 yr old kid from Latvia that went with the proven pedigreed guy who turned out to be a criminal. What would you do next?

    I never would have hired Miller, he has had criminal issues for twenty years.

    Further, I sure wouldn’t have hired my inexperienced brother to be my agent.

    Then again I don’t invite female neighbors into my home at 2 am or supposedly agree to pay them $68,000 after being accused of rape by them.

    Couldn't have happened to a 1st class organization. Start Nowitzki so they can tank some more and most importantly to the Mavs break Michael Jordan's point records. Not playing Doncic in the 4th quarter lately so they can lose some more. If the allegation is true, I wonder how long Adam Silver is going to suspend him?!?!?!?

    He may be proven innocent.... if that is the case, he will get paid.
