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.

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.

Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison is reportedly not expected to stay in his role for the long haul.

There's a long list of players, coaches, or personnel who were close to Doncic that are no longer with the franchise since Harrison's arrival in 2021.

Outraged Dallas Mavericks fans are going after GM Nico Harrison in the wake of the mindblowing Luka Doncic trade.

Mavs GM Nico Harrison's career is marked by two major events: trading Luka Doncic and botching Steph Curry's Nike deal.

The deal is done, Luka Doncic is now a Los Angeles Laker and Anthony Davis is now a Dallas Maverick. With the dust starting to settle after the massive trade, some of the national sports outlets have dished out grades for each side’s return.

There are levels to it, and there are people that fit the culture and there’s people that come in and add to the culture,” Harrison said.

Nico Harrison was a relatively unknown name on Friday. Now, he'll always be known as the general manager who traded Luka Doncic.

“I thought I’d spend my career here and I wanted so badly to bring you a championship,” Doncic wrote late Sunday in a “Dear Dallas” letter to fans. “The love and support you all have given me is more than I could have ever dreamed of.
