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.

When the common consensus from fans and players alike about your trade is that it is fake news or the account was hacked, that probably means it wasn’t the best decision. But that was exactly the case when the NBA world received one of its most shocking trade updates ever,

Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison executed one of the most shocking trades in NBA history by sending Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers,

The Mavericks play the Cavaliers on Sunday, a little more than 15 hours after news of their blockbuster trade with the Lakers broke.

Here's everything you need to know about Nico Harrison, the Mavericks GM and mastermind behind the Luka Doncic trade for Anthony Davis.

Somehow the sun did in fact dawn Sunday in North Texas, piercing though not erasing the shroud of Mavericks fans’ shock, despair and anger. The previous night’s astonishing bombshell was in fact reality: The Mavericks really did trade 25-year-old superstar Luka Doncic to the despised and perpetually hoops-god-blessed Los Angeles Lakers.

Kidd was unaware that Harrison was shopping Doncic. Harrison reportedly had nearly a month of dialogue with Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka about the move. Not once did he tell the coach he thinks he’s aligned with about what was in the works behind the scenes.

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.

Anthony Davis commented for the first time on Monday since the blockbuster trade which saw him move from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Luka Dončić.
