Sacramento coach Dave Joerger, of course, very soon discovered what a mistake his team had made when they did not select Luke Doncic on the set and left him to Dallas. "Some people say that this guy has a limit, but I don't see it. For me, his abilities are limitless," he even publicly criticized his superiors, led by CEO Vlad Divac, after one of the two teams. Well, according to The Athletic, Joerger went a step further.
According to The Athletic, one day he reached Divac, once a great Serbian center, and said he had put together an offer to bring Doncic from Dallas in the middle of the season. Not only that, Joerger also assured Divac, after providing The Athletic, that he had already talked about this offer and that he seemed interested in Dallas and believed in success. It was at a time when Dallas was changing players a lot and eventually replacing them with Sacramento.
In short, Sacramento's coach argued that even in the middle of the season, he could reach Doncic and was supposed to present Divac with what, whom and how he should be sent to Dallas in return. And Divac's answer. As The Athletic states, he was very brief and very concise: "Do I also get their coach from Dallas?" And the rest is history. Joerger soon got a leg up, Doncic became an NBA superstar, and Divac hears calls that he's made the biggest mistake of all time and should be dropped from office.
