Was Kristaps Porzingis’ role one of the reasons for the Mavericks’ front office rift?

The Dallas Mavericks 2020-21 season ended after a disappointing loss in game seven against the Clippers in the first round of the Playoffs. The next day, skeletons quickly started to fall out of the closet. We heard strange exit interviews quotes. Then there was the story about the front office power struggles. Donnie Nelson, long-time General Manager, was fired. Rick Carlisle resigned, and burned bridges on his way out. Jason Kidd and Nico Harrison were appointed as the new head coach and General Manager duo.

The drama and news cycle came so fast that one question from last season remained unanswered.
