The Dallas Mavericks are still the most polarizing team of the trade deadline, and moves have been made since they dealt Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Dallas Mavericks made arguably one of the biggest draft-day trades in 2018 when they acquired Luka Doncic from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Trae Young. In just a couple of years, Doncic blossomed into a superstar and gave Mavericks fans hope of winning another NBA Championship after 2011.

There's a long list of players, coaches, or personnel who were close to Doncic that are no longer with the franchise since Harrison's arrival in 2021.

Here's everything you need to know about Nico Harrison, the Mavericks GM and mastermind behind the Luka Doncic trade for Anthony Davis.

Let’s set the record straight. The Luka Doncic trade was not a basketball move for the Mavericks. Premise #1: the Mavs trading Luka, at 25 years old 1 of the top 3 players in the world, to the Lakers in return for broken down 32 year old Anthony “Street Clothes” Davis makes no sense as a basketball move.

Mavs GM Nico Harrison's career is marked by two major events: trading Luka Doncic and botching Steph Curry's Nike deal.

Outraged Dallas Mavericks fans are going after GM Nico Harrison in the wake of the mindblowing Luka Doncic trade.

There are levels to it, and there are people that fit the culture and there’s people that come in and add to the culture,” Harrison said.

Nico Harrison was a relatively unknown name on Friday. Now, he'll always be known as the general manager who traded Luka Doncic.
