Nico Harrison: "There's no regrets on the Luka Doncic trade. Part of it is doing the best thing for Mavs"

[Mr B]

Jonny Blaze is Nico Harrison. 100%.

Probably called by Mr.B when he understood that the majority of the fanbase (even in Dallas) are no so excited about next Mavs season.

The majority of the fanbase in Dallas do not hate the Mavs. Again I actually live in the city but what would I know. I’m sure someone like you who doesn’t even live in the country (much less city) knows much more about what’s going on here.

We can archive yet another version change from our beloved Mr. B. Great.

Nobody here hates the Mavs, nobody here hopes in their failure but almost nobody is excited about a AD leaded team.
That's for sure.

It is inevitable that this roster will not even be able to match the results of the last 4/5 years, so it is equally inevitable that whoever is responsible for this deterioration will have to pay the consequences.

I don't know what are going on in the city but the Mavs organization knows it for sure and they hired a new face with the primary goal of healing the relationship with the fans. That's the reality. Clear and simple.

Then why do you openly hope they fail and Cooper Flagg fails? That’s not a Mavs fan. That’s a Laker/Luka fan trolling the board.

Who said that? Who?

Is realistic to think that a team with this back court and without an alpha can reach the Finals?
No, so this team will be worse than past years.
This is not hope for a failure.

Harrison can only survive if the Mavs will win a title in the next 2 years, i'm sorry but his vision is already dead. Live with it.

And please, don't put too much pressure on Flagg, he can't be our savior at 18yo... he will have enough pressure from the media and this place is one of the worst for him.

[Bob8]

I found it interesting that "Mavs" fans want to exclude Luka's fans from Mavs board, because they want to talk only about future season and Flagg, but Flagg's and others threads are dead.

[ACMFFL]

Let's make it clear once and for all.

It doesn't mean people embrace GM vision nor that Luka is despised if some Mavs fans desire to move on and/or look forward to the day where we talk about the on-court side of the Dallas Mavericks basketball instead of Luka/Lakers/Men's Health Magazines.
I'm honestly tired of feeling miserable, that trade drained all my energies and almost killed my passion for this sport.

But let's face it, everything that needed to be said has already been addressed and dissected time and time again, at this juncture we just keep repeating ourself.
Our GM is a clown, he can't be excused and deserves to be fired on the spot, I think 99% of the fanbase agree with that.

The question is: what's next now after that..? Keep beating the dead horse until Governor convinces himself to do the right thing?
If GM didn't get fired after costing hundred of millions to the owner, how can you even believe that Governor would pull the trigger just because fans badly want him to?

Ofc people are free do to whatever they feel, but in my opinion it's just an exercise in futility.

Then people should talk about other things. The problem of Mavs board for many years is the same, very few posters prepared to post. Vast majority of posts were by so called "Luka" fans. Johnny B, Mr. B and others who like to complain weren't exactly posting much. Maybe posting energy should go more in creating something new and not about excluding people, who're posting "wrong" content.

Tbf we are in the middle of the summer, I mean many of the other teams boards are almost dead in this period of the offseason..

Who are those others who like to complain and weren't posting much?

Well, you are doing the same thing you are objecting to, while I agree that Johnny B has been pretty rude towards Archx, people are free to state their opinions as long as they are respectful. If some fans are sick to repeat the same two things ad nauseam, they are free to say it without being assaulted, ofc it doesn't mean they want to exclude people.
And there isn't a quota that makes some users better than others.

Great post.
I'm with you for sure and i think all of us will support the team and the players when season finally starts.
No doubt about it.

But i'm still wanting Harrison fired and i think probably 99% of the Mavs fanbase too, like Maverick41 wrote days ago (And I can reassure you that they are just waiting for the right moment to fire him).

But i don't think the fans have to accept the situation and shut up.

This's Nico Harrison and Luka Doncic thread. What should we be we writing about?

Johnny B. said numerous times and some others agreed, he will be happy when Luka's fans are not longer on this board. It's ok I guess, but kinda funny when you're not writing anything else than complaining about Luka's fans in Nico&Luka thread. Maybe he should write something about future, Flagg...and discussion will shift.

User, who didn't post almost anything on Mavs board in last decade, is angry about users, who are posting here?

Yeah I totally agree with you, for sure fans have all the rights to be vocal when needed, but on the other hand I don't want to get my hopes up cause, usually, owners don't care what their fanbase wants.

It's not just about the fans but the media pressure, the Mavs can't fail this season too...

Maves Superfan Ralph Barbosa On Luka Doncic Trade To Lakers: "It's Like Your Chick Starts Banging Your Worst Enemy"
Mavs superfan Ralph Barbosa unloads on Luka Doncic’s Lakers trade.

Dallas Mavericks superfan Ralph Barbosa did not hold back when sharing his feelings about Luka Doncic’s shocking trade to the Los Angeles Lakers. Appearing on Club Shay Shay, the comedian and lifelong Mavs supporter painted a vivid, emotional picture of what the move felt like from a fan’s perspective, and let’s just say it wasn’t pretty.

"A bunch of cuss words. A bunch of bad stuff about the new owner. And tears—because he didn’t even want to go. It’s like when your mom has a new boyfriend you actually like, and then she dumps him or cheats on him."

"Like, bro, we finally had one. He wanted to be here. Yeah, you ran him off. And to make it worse, I don’t even like the Lakers. Of all the teams, the Lakers. Horrible. That’s like if your girl starts hooking up with your worst enemy. That just hurt."

For Barbosa and many in Dallas, Luka wasn’t just a superstar; he was their superstar.

Agree.

It's not just trade Doncic, it's not just take back a 32yo soft budino and crap but it's trade Doncic to the Lakers too.

Someone has to pay for that **** and we everybody know who will be.

[One_and_Done]

Sooner or later Nico will be justifiably scapegoated. I'm hoping for sooner.

It's easy for Cuban to blame Nico.
I never expected Cuban to actually have a deciding role in the team once he sold. I blame Cuban in many ways.

Exactly. I became Mavs fan way early in the 2000's because of passion from Cuban for the team and obviously Dirk. But in the past couple of years it's been so easy to turn on Mark. And the worst thing is, he just can't shut up. He made the deal with the devil and now he's trying to make himself look like the good guy. It all started with the Brunson fiasco. I'll never forget how he was laughing at reporter questions anytime they asked him if they will re-sign him, he was so confident and acting like he's the smartest dude on the planet.... all the way to the Luka trade and to now when he's trying to defend Ballmer.

I agree.

I have been a fan of the Mavs long before Cuban purchased the team. I was thrilled when he purchased the team, but anybody who purchased the team would be an improvement. Cuban to me these days is an absolute joke!

[41Dirk41]

Ok, i think it's the end of Nico Harrison as GM on this team (and probably for the entire NBA).

It wasn't quick, nor was it pretty. But at least it's over. Finally.
