Mavs GM Hated By Dallas Fans Says He Has 'No Regrets' Over Luka Doncic Trade

Nico Harrison is public enemy No. 1 in Dallas after shipping Luka Doncic, the Mavericks’ star of the future, to the Lakers in a trade many call a historic FLEECE.

Los Angeles fans are over the moon, but Harrison is doubling down, saying he has no regrets, even if it’s one of the worst deals in the NBA, ever.

The complaints have hit Harrison’s ears loud and clear, yet the general manager’s sticking to his guns even if they’re misfiring.

In return for Doncic, the Mavericks got an oft-injured Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a few other pieces to sweeten a still-lopsided deal.
