Carlisle stirs up dissension and causes Doncic to be dissatisfied, and has publicly said that the TV is jealous of Doncic?

ESPN reporter Tim Mac Mahon wrote a long article exposing the rift in Luka Doncic's relationship with former Lone Ranger coach Rick Carlisle, saying that Doncic was dissatisfied with the way Carlisle treated other players, and it all started with his rookie season backcourt partner Dennis Smith.

According to MacMahon, Doncic quickly established a friendship with Smith after joining the Lone Ranger, and the two were inseparable, but carlisle and the management of the Lone Ranger were not optimistic about Smith's future and took the initiative to destroy the pair.

Sources said several players were shocked at a team meeting earlier in the season when Carlisle accused Smith of being jealous of Doncic. The players think it's very unfair to Smith, he's not playing well but is making an honest effort to better work with Doncic on the pitch.

Team sources said Doncic was very unhappy with what he saw as carlisle's provocation of dissension between him and his friends.

"The key is not how Rick treats Luca," said one player who played for the Lone Ranger in 2018-19, "what Luka hates is the way Rick treats other people." ”
