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

[41Dirk41]

You’re reading comprehension isn’t very good today friend. I said, in Dallas. The Mavs have more fans than just the ones that live in the city. He’s talking about those and any in Dallas that might still be butt hurt.

What?!?!?!?!?!?!
Sorry, but where does he say it's aimed at fans outside the Dallas area? Where?

They would never have hired a new face if the fanbase wasn't upset with the clear intention of regaining their trust.

Like i said, we can change the past but the guy who trasformed a Finals team to a lottery one HAS TO GUY, until that the fracture from fanbase and organization is unfixable. And they understood it. Not you. But it's not a big problem.

Again, the entire fanbase doesn’t live in Dallas. There are fans that live outside the city. He’s clearly talking to the fans that are still butt hurt. If the majority of those fans live outside the city then he’s clearly talking to them.

Again, How can you say that most of the disappointed fans live outside the city?

It's just your assumption, don't try to pass it off as truth. Please.

You don’t even live in the city. How can you tell me that most Mavs fans are still butt hurt? I actually live here. Go to Mavs game on a regular basis. Go to sports bars all over the city. I listen to the local radio sports shows (there are 2 in Dallas). I think I have a better idea of what’s going on in Dallas than you do my friend.

Just to be clear, I am still butt hurt from the trade, as are Mavs media members who live in Dallas, including Mav MoenyBall guys, Bobby Karalla and Kevin Gray from DLLS, and Rob Sturm from the Ticket.

Have you seen the media press tour Luka is on right now? It's freaking insane the difference between being in Dallas or LA And they keep asking him about fitness condition and how Mavs treated him on the way out. He knows first hand who launched those "attacks" against him. Nico denying it makes it even worse lol.

Too bad it took him having to get traded for him to FINALLY take care of his body. Hopefully he keeps it up during the NBA season instead letting himself go like he usually does.

The season before he was traded he averaged 34/9/10 with 62% TS and carried Mavs alone for month and a half, when everyone was injured, then he went in Finals with Mavs. He played the most minutes in Nba, RS+playoffs. Kinda good for fat kid, don't you think? If he truly didn't care about his body at all then, he will average 50/15/15 this year with 70% TS. Or maybe narrative about being totally out of shape is just narrative Nico sold to all naive people?

You can't be unprepared and play 92 games with the biggest usage in Nba, average 38 minutes and have crazy good stats. Mavs burned him into the ground in RS and then were surprised that he had multiple minor injuries in playoffs. The whole story is just sad. He had MVP worthy season and brought Mavs in Finals and half a year later he was traded in the middle of the night, because he was fat.

And Lakers didn't only get hyper motivated Luka, the funniest part is, they got him for 15 mio per year cheaper. That's just hilarious.

I hate this entire circus, and there is nothing I despise more than hack writers who come after players with an agenda, it's why I dislike Windhorst and this clown Spears, who, thank God, isn't invited a lot to podcast, but when he is, it's the best sleep medicine I ever saw.
It's also why I always liked straight shooters like MacMahon despite the Luka fans camp hating him constantly.

That is basically the most absurd thing in this whole thing. One of the best players in the NBA on a "cheap" deal. Nico didn't think this through at all. In 2 years Pelinka will basically have clean roster salary cap with one cheap star contract lol....

Yes, Mavs basically gave Luka to Lakers and salary space for another good player. It's insane.

Nico is a degenerate who is in a job he does not deserve, no argument. But the pass Luka is getting and always got from so many fans is also ridiculous. The guy year after year is out of shape, and now all of a sudden eh cares? Because he was publicly called out and traded? Getting curb stomped in the Finals didnt motivate him but the trade did? He's a clown and the terrible part in all thsi is the return the Mavs got back, not the fact that they realized they needed to get rid of this man child.

No one is giving him a pass, the shape he came in for the 21 and 25 seasons was terrible, his whining to the officials and immaturity also needed to improve, but if you read the MacMahon book, Nico never called him out on his weight, he actively sabotaged the medical staff, to the point Luka hired his own medical staff, Nico also built teams that put insane load on him, that 22/23 roster was a disaster and we all saw it coming, except the multi million $ GM.
After all that, and after you traded him in a ridiculous trade, lucked into a generational player in the draft, you send your clown "journalist" to continue the smear campaign after telling the fanbase to move on from the stab in the back you just gave them, at least move on yourself!
One more thing, Luka may have been immature and overweight, but he gave it all to the team and the city, and never badmouthed anyone, he also carried the team to insane highs, even if he didn't win it all, the way that lowlife scumbag and his band groupies at ESPN treated him should be an insult to anyone who enjoyed Luka's time here and rooted for him.

I would say that 34/9/10 with 62 TS% and Finals, is far exceeding expectations, no matter how your body looks. If expectations are 50/15/15 and Nba ring then I agree.

Btw. you and some others should look at how Luka looked in the start of 23/24 season, before saying that he always came out of shape. Those incredible stats and 60 and 70+ points games didn't come by themselves. It's just incredible how short memory people have. He wasn't 5x in a row in first All Nba team with just eating and drinking too much. He gave everything to the team, which for sure can't be said vice versa.

I want Nico and AD gone more than I want many other things in life, so with you there. I think Nico is a snake and dont see why he still has a job. But I dislike Luka even mroe now. Now that he's shown a willingess and desire to be in shape, he's shown his true colors. He lost money and got called out, thats what lit a fire under him. Not losing in the Finals, not wanting to be the best. Money and public image.

I'd rather have Brunson (who I wrongfully criticized) who took less money to help his team and is always in shape

Luka did the exact same thing before 23/24 season after missing the PO, and regardless, this isn't about moving from him, this is about the manner they did and are still doing it after telling us to move on.
He's in LA, if they themselves can't help themselves from keep smearing him, don't insult our intelligence by telling us to move along.
Go feed that creep Spears stories about Cooper Flagg, not Lakers players.

Obviously not, but i'm not the one who claims to know what the majority of fanbase think.

An NBA team hired a new basketball president and his first words were "i'm going to make healing the fans literally one of my biggest priorities, if not the most important priority"... It's pretty clear what the owner's priority is.

Then you can continue to pretend that it is not like that but at the end of the day it's not so important your opinion here over a basketball president statements.
