Dirk and Rick Carlisle Comment on Mavs’ Sexual Harassment News. Following the story on improper workplace conduct in the Mavs’ organization, Dirk’s response was on point: “It’s tough. It’s very disappointing. It’s heartbreaking. I’m glad it’s all coming out. I was disgusted when I read the article, obviously, as everybody was. I was shocked by some of the stuff. Just really really disappointed that in our franchise—my franchise—that stuff like that was going on. It’s just very sad.” Carlisle added that, “I also have a 13-year-old daughter and I want her to know that it’s both brave and safe to speak out.” Dirk said that Mark Cuban is hiring investigators to find answers. In addition to dealing with this scandal, he created another one for himself when he said the Mavs should lose on purpose to get a better lottery position. He was fined $600,000.
