You don't get to trade for AD and then blame injuries. Like, it's one thing to walk into a situation where AD was already there, but you traded for him despite his history, so you don't get to blame injuries as to why the trade didn't work out. I mean, come on, it's AD.

Furthermore, you completed the Grimes trade even though the medical staff determined Martin was hurt. Nobody else owns the Luka and Grimes trades except Nico. To me even discussing the medical staff is giving Nico an out he doesn't deserve the Lakers medical staff couldn't keep him healthy either.

Forget that. Dallas eliminated OKC last year and somehow managed to beat them 3x this year. OKC would still have been a paper favorite over Dallas, but man is that a team you should be glad isn't in the bracket this year to possibly wreck a historic season.

And the 3 times they beat OKC it was without Luka I believe.


The three times we lost were without Chet and Hartenstein. Our only win was against Luka. I wonder when people will look at the actual context, but at this point it looks like a lost cause apparently.

Reminds me of suns fans blaming Beal when they should point their anger to the moron who traded for him.

He said he knew that Luka meant a lot to the fanbase, he didn't know that Luka would mean this much.

But what he fails to see is, not that LUKA meant this much, but the RETURN on the trade. An extremely injury prone, old player in his 30's, for the face of the league that's 25.

If lets say Dallas got a substantial return back, 2 young allstar players, for Luka, fans would be quite different in reaction.

But he got an injured old player who's really not worth it. And that in itself shows how disconnected to reality Nico is.


Yeah, but the strange thing is, wasn't the main reason he got such a poor return that he only wanted to deal with one team, that he didn't want to generate some bidding war because then it would mean things leaking out into the open and everyone knowing he wants to trade Luka?

The guy already knew how hated this trade would be that he wanted to keep everything under wraps.

I tried context.... Ah well unfortunately some posters can only hear criticism when it pertains to their team even when it comes in the form of praise.

Good luck on a deep run. Love your team and hope you can enjoy it too without feeling persecuted. Sucks to have a team this special and be looking for battles to fight.

Nico is just a fall guy who is just forced to keep the official narrative going, no matter how crazy it might seem.

OMG bro.

This organization is braindead. Seriously.


It's worse than that.

Dirk was the golden goose. The highly overrated Mark Cuban at least understood this.

The highly overrated Mark Cuban also knew Luka was the golden goose.

NIco Harrison thinks he is the golden goose

Nico Harrison and Patrick Dumont are a couple of creeps. That my friends is today's Dallas Mavericks. NOONE should be supporting this franchise, in my view.

*Note* If Dirk has a problem with you.... the problem is you.

The context part of the quote wasn't aimed at you, Chuck. I saw your other posts in the thread. That was aimed at Mr B.

Seems like a lot of Dallas fans are giving up on their franchise based on comments around here.

Hopefully they have a good offseason and we see some more positivity next season.
