Mavs GM Nico Harrison remains steadfast that trading Luka Doncic was the right move
DALLAS (AP) - Nico Harrison is undeterred by the ongoing chants of fans calling for the Dallas Mavericks general manager’s job.
Those catcalls persist in all sorts of settings 2 1/2 months after young superstar Luka Doncic was sent to the Los Angeles Lakers in a seismic trade that brought Anthony Davis to Dallas and unrelenting criticism upon the man who triggered the deal.
At the time, Harrison thought the Mavs had the prospect of a title contender by adding Davis to a lineup that eventually would include guard Kyrie Irving, promising young center Dereck Lively II, veteran 3-point threat Klay Thompson and versatile defender P.J. Washington Jr.
Because of injuries, the next time those five play together will be the first, and won’t happen until sometime during the 2025-26 season. The star duo of Davis and Irving had just 2 1/2 quarters together before Davis injured a groin in his Dallas debut, and Irving tore the ACL in his left knee while Davis was sidelined.
