The Mavericks trade Doncic! Old Payton: I really feel sorry for Nico. This must be the boss decision.

May 23 News Recently, former NBA player Gary Payton talked about the Mavericks' deal with Doncic in the show "Club520".

Payton said: "I really feel sorry for Nico, brother. Nico used to be the specialist for Nike to connect with me, and to me, it's like a brother. He always treats me as a role model. So I understand his current situation. Do I understand what I mean? The outside world doesn't understand at all. As the general manager of the team, he has no final decision-making power. Decisions at this level must be decided by the boss. He cannot decide without authorization and say 'I'll decide', otherwise he will be fired immediately. Those fans who scold him indiscriminately will calm me down! This is not something he can decide at all. He just executes the instructions of his superiors and completes the work within his duties, which is the truth."
