When Brad Townsend asked Doncic what his feelings were towards the Mavericks' highly controversial GM Nico Harrison, the primary initiator of the trade to the chagrin of both Mavericks fans and Doncic's teammates, the soft-spoken Slovenian superstar was honest in his response.

Nico Harrison’s trade of Luka Doncic was a mistake of such epic proportions only conspiracies could explain it for many of the faithful. Brazen miscalculation, if not incompetence, isn’t good enough.

Let’s set the record straight. The Luka Doncic trade was not a basketball move for the Mavericks. Premise #1: the Mavs trading Luka, at 25 years old 1 of the top 3 players in the world, to the Lakers in return for broken down 32 year old Anthony “Street Clothes” Davis makes no sense as a basketball move.
