Nico Harrison, the Dallas Mavericks' general manager, admitted he misjudged the strong emotional connection fans had with star Luka Doncic prior to trading him for Anthony Davis. Despite ongoing criticism for the decision, Harrison defends the trade as a strategic move to build a championship team. He expressed disappointment over injuries that affected team performance, stating they could have achieved greater success with a healthy roster. Ultimately, he believes that a winning season would have alleviated fan outrage and validated the trade's outcome.
"I did know that Luka was important to the fan base; I didnât quite know it to what level."
"We feel that's a championship-caliber team and we would have been winning at a high level and that would have quieted some of the outrage."
