Point guard Rajon Rondo did not play the final 20-plus minutes of the Dallas Mavericks‘ 99-92 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night after a profanity-laced shouting match with coach Rick Carlisle over play-calling responsibilities.

As you know Lillard never responded to that and was later chosen to replace the injured Blake Griffin. Someone else however took Durant up on his offer, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
