|APRIL 17, 2025
Beleaguered Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison on Tuesday defended his decision to trade away superstar guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, insisting he had “no regrets” over the deal.
-
Harrison has been become a hate-figure amongst Mavericks fans in the wake of the shock trade in February that sent Doncic to Los Angeles with Anthony Davis heading in the opposite direction.
Chants of “Fire Nico” have been a regular occurrence at Mavs games ever since, and rang out again last week when Doncic and the Lakers played in Dallas.
However in comments to Dallas media reported on Tuesday, Harrison was adamant that the decision to move on Doncic was in the best interests of the franchise.
“There's no regrets on the trade,” Harrison was quoted as saying by ESPN.
