When Mamba Mentality goes wrong.
I'm a diehard Lakers fan, but I can tell you– Mavs fans did not deserve this. Fan to fan.
The Mavs' fan base can not begin to heal until Nico resigns. If the owner told Nico to do it, they probably won't fire him. All around, messed up.
The Owner didn't want to pay Luka that extension money. The GM is just a pawn that has to go in front of the media and wear it.
So what was the point of that secret meeting then?
Jerry Jones looks at Meats and Nico Harrison looks at Physiques
gonna subscribe again. cannot move on from you. . . i'm a luka fan from the philippines but i'm still coming back to your podcast. i have unaubsribed early feb thinking that it might hurt listening to you, but can't just let go totally. . . from you, slightly and isaac. . just let me hear you again from time to time. . . ❤️😞
Who cares man stop f**** crying there are plenty of mav fans if you don't want to be one anymore bye bye.
Everything he says I believed too.
Bro is this your platform to drum up anger or is this a platform for Mavericks for the Mavericks You know we have a whole damn team still
Can we get more host?
If you're a Cowboys fan and a Mav fan but supporting Jerry Jones while wanting to kill Nico, then you're a 🤡.
I would go in secret too. who wants to listen to you cry. You say ihe said nothing new, yet here you are crying about every little thing that he repeated.
You have a ego thinking you can come here and cry every time about Luka when there are other Mav fans who want to hear about the damn team. This channel is called locked on Mavs. I need a new one
Victim? He got sent to the Lakers. And was able to have a good team around him Nico set him up.
Now you're the expert on how to build a team
He absolutely chose the star he wanted. You're delusional
Every time I come here and I have to listen to you cry for Luka I'm going to trash talk the comments.
Stars get traded for all the time what are you talking about
Nico (who I really liked before February 1st) really needs to go now. I wouldn’t have an issue if he says I’m glad we got AD and Max Christie. He needs to take accountability and regret and apologize for the way he treated # 77 and how it was handled. He can show accountability to the Mavs fanbase and # 77 without crapping on his boy toy AD.
Didn’t the Twolves have this one in a generation defense last year??
Remind me again how that worked out for them?!
14:30 your exactly right here. The huge difference is nobody was questioning Kyrie is amazing on court. They are explicitly saying Luka isn’t good enough to win a finals. And we all know that’s obviously not true
I still don't understand why all of a sudden Nico turned his back on us/mavs fanbase. All we've done was praise him for every trade deal he's made until THE trade. It's like he woke up one day and decided to just fk over this city and its fans. Like why? Is it worth the chaos?!
As we know it at this point, Nico doesn't care about us fans, he doesn't even care about our only Dirk. Nico said he cares about the Mavs, but he doesn't care about Dirk? Dirk IS the Dallas Mavericks and vise versa. Nico will never get it.
This is what happens when you think a guy who MIGHT be qualified to serve as your EQUIPMENT MANAGER will be qualified to serve as your GENERAL MANAGER. Enjoy AD demanding a trade and not getting shit in return to DOUBLE DOWN on what a dumbass Nico and the Niners are lmaoooooo🤣😁😂👏👏👏🤡🤡🤡🤣😁😂
All he had to do was shut up and the heat would have cooled down a bit. Instead, he poured more gas
All his moves worked because of Luka… If defense wins championships, then they should win this year. Only missing player is Kyrie and he doesn’t add to the defense. Bunch of bullshit.
Franchise ruined, short term and long term. Current players and coaches will be abandoning ship quicker than the cast of the Walking Dead after the moron show runners killed off Carl. Plus, think of Nico’s underlings careers going forward: “Oh, you were there when that dumbass made that dumbass deal and didn’t talk him out of it? Don’t call us, we’ll call you. In the meantime, you may want to consider a career in fast food delivery” 🤣😂🤣😝😁🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
He just wants to stay relevant in the media, like president you know who.
😅😅The lies, the lies!!
Yeah because Dallas fans are like any crowd – behave stupid . They still don’t get that’s ownership decision. OWNERSHIP. For example who fired head coach and GM from Nuggets? GM or OWNERSHIP? That’s a trick question. And he got one of the best players in the league and a great young talent for Luka. And as far as I know he didn’t get Luka, Ad, Kyrie, Gafford, PJ, Lively injured by himself like John Wick.
Justifying his decision
He wont last as GM
Nicol was definitely a Lakers plant! His #1 job was to get Luka to the Lakers. 2nd job was to win here.
He'll never admit he fucked up. In 20 years when Dallas hasnt won anything he'll still say he was right.
Nico has a big ego.
I could not imagine a person so tone deaf about the noise around him and how he is not even listening. He is the most hated person in the city along with the adelsons. Jerry is now 3rd lol. He is so cowardly. so much for mamba mentality
Better get cooper Flagg
Why don't we wait and see how Luka is performing in the playoffs before all this criticism towards the Mavericks management?
Murphy’s Law – anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
in 10-20 years nico harrison will be interviewed and will finally say the truth. the guy made the bonkers decision and he is still employed! this goes deeeeeep
Hopefully kyrie is leaving too..!
As a Laker fan, I think Nico is the GM of the year.
Niko je idijot
Time stamping 6:36 for further use !
Dallas is taking BIG L no matter what happens AD not live up to Nico expectations like he said and Nico not go to come out said he made big mistake.
mavs fans in shambles
Dumbest trade ever in the world of sports. Nico Harrison is an idiot, he doesn't deserve to be a GM in any sports organization.
He’s doubling down because talking heads like you won’t let it go because you make money doing so.
At the end of the day, word Niko still means literally nobody in Slavic languages.. Fact 🤷.
You guys forgot that Dallas lost the championship because of Luka's poor conditioning and lack of effort on defense in the finals. He came into camp this year heavier than last year. You guys wanted to keep waiting for Luka to get in shape.😂
