"Owners don't fire themselves. They find someone else to blame." Cold blooded line and very true.
Nico and the Dallas organization are solely responsible for mishandling Luka, a legit NBA superstar.
Nico did not do this without the approval of the owner. The owner should have squashed that trade idea immediately and fired Nico for even bringing it up. Instead he let Nico move forward. The owner is responsible as well.
I was really looking to the Cooper Flag – Maxi Kleber trade to win now and improve the Mavs defense
Well that escalated really quick
We here in Zimbabwe are not surprised ๐ข
Stephen A didn't you had the Mavs in the western conference finals?
Still the same owners
Mavs arent even reaching the playoffs this year
The death of Osama Bin Laden to Mavericks fans.
The ownership didn't want to spend 300 mil on Luka extension. They had final say on that but now they want to blame Nico.
Plot twist: Nico is still working for the owners… in secret
F@$k you, Nico! I hope that you never work in the NBA, ever again!
Nico donโt worry you are loved in LA at least!
Every one of you donโt see Beyond yours Nose. Nico Harrison SAVE Doncic Carreer. The stile of live and the vicius than Doncic had in Dallas was so wrong that he killed his carrer for ever. Doncic, Nico was your Savorโฆ
Specifically 10 am Central Time? He gotta wait to get fired? ๐
Thank you nico ๐๐
Are we forgetting the world tour the ownership did insulting Luka
Dong-Chick.๐๐ฅ
Adam Silver FORCED the Luka trade to LA to save the NBA!!! Nico is the FALL GUY!!!
You trade Luka for Giannis, and fans are still pissed. Because they were attached to Luka and wanted to win WITH HIM. But at least with that trade you have hope that you could still be good.
Thereโs no hope trading for AD. I donโt care how many analysts want to bloviate about how amazing he is, AD was a non factor in New Orleans and NEVER came close to making the leap everyone swore up and down that AD would make in LA. He is a great player, but he is not and has never been the #1 on a championship team. He also cannot stay healthy no matter how much you hope and pray that he does.
It was the stupidest trade of all time and every Mavericks fan knew it the minute it went through. Anyone who tried to say โoh wait, look at the Mavs roster now!โ isnโt a serious person.
Stephen A makes it a point to say Luka Donchick and Victor Wembanyana. Like he never seen these dudes name before and never heard them said by anybody else.
Lukaยดs revenge. Sorry for Cooper ๐
Makes zero sense. Who wins with its best players injured? Nice did not trade Luka without sign off. This is nonsense.
Border line a hate crime , Iโm black but we got too look at racism at this point haha we have to make it make sense
Luka better win a chip ๐๐๐ because a lot of Luka glazing for no rings. Last playoff series I saw Luka in his 40 year old counter part was the best player on the team lol
Did Luka win a title that I missed?
You cannot be surprised or mad at AD for being hurt anymore than you can get mad at the sky for being blue. It is an inevitability.
No worries, adam silver will reward him for fixing the trade.
Tell me how this would look if the Mavs made it out the first round this year and the lakers end up being a first round exit just like last year. Yall need to chill with this Nico hate
Even if owners wanted the trade, nico f'd up by only talking to lakers.
This is what happens when you hire someone based on race & equality, not qualification
Dont worry nico my lakers will retire ur jersey
Like this was never gonna happen….
Nico need to leave Dallas immediately ๐
The lakers should hire him as payback
Should fire Jason Kidd not letting dlo play
Can someone PLEASE tell Stephen A. how to pronounce WembanyAMA? M. There's an M. Please. Kthx. …and it's DON-CHICH. Not Don-chick. You literally do this for a living. Know the names.
Cooper Flagg is NOT gonna be special. He will be a good six man in the future. Behind the scenes Dallas Mavericks know that and that was the final straw.
Whatโs Fโd up is it wasnโt Nicoโs call. Ownership wanted Luka gone..now Nico is the scapegoat
Biggest mistake in basketball history!!!!
Next fire kidd๐
THE SCAPEGOAT ๐๐๐
Luka and AR15 going crazy!
As much as I dislike Nico I feel he was a scapegoat for the higher ups ๐
SAS knows Nico did not make that trade. He reported on it just last season.
Mavs owner told Nico trade Luka or you be whacked he traded him then got whacked a few months later ๐
The logic was solid. They had legitimate concerns how Luca was gonna hold up long term, so lets get go get an older big with the nickname "Street Clothes" to pivot our franchise to.
Where are all the "NBA is rigged" nonsense now?!!
Nico going down and the greatest laker gm of all time
