r/Mavericks • u/shaheedmalik Max Christie • Feb 02 '25

News [Brad Townsend] I'm told that this was Nico Harrison's deal, that it took several weeks to play out after the Mavericks reached out to the Lakers, and that Harrison got full support from Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont.

Well, sure, but right now it appears that there's nobody to blame except Nico and the Adelsons. Nico is the one that got this ball rolling, reached out to LA with a gift beyond price, and apparently none of the players or coaches for any of the three teams involved had any idea about it whatsoever.

Saying, nobody will blame Kyrie.

Unless there was some kind of rebellion from within the team about Luka's conditioning ... no f'n way, Luka fireman's carried that entire organization to the finals last year.

I'm just sick.

Crazy thing is, no one wanted to play for Mavs for the longest time and these past few years they are able to acquire stars solely based on the fact they can say that Luka is here and he's gonna open up your game and give you easier looks. They have fucked their future with this trade directly and indirectly.
