“There’s more and more phone calls probably taking place amongst the league, amongst all these executives, but I think the one thing that’s great is I trust [executive vice president of basketball operations] Arturas [Karnisovas] is going to make any kind of decision that’s always going to try and help our team better, and he’s included me on all those decisions and we’ve talked about all those things,’’ Donovan said, when asked about the communication he’s been having with his bosses lately.
