The Dallas Mavericks made arguably one of the biggest draft-day trades in 2018 when they acquired Luka Doncic from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Trae Young. In just a couple of years, Doncic blossomed into a superstar and gave Mavericks fans hope of winning another NBA Championship after 2011.

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 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.

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

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.

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.
