Kendrick Perkins provided the roadmap for Nico Harrison to win the goodwill of the Dallas Mavericks fanbase.
The Dallas Mavericks have been a chaotic franchise for the last few months. I haven’t felt anything in Dallas since trading Luka Doncic.
Nico Harrison caused a lot of trouble with his decision to trade stars for the franchise. One NBA analyst even claimed that Nico had given LeBron James the championship with Luka Donsic.
During yesterday’s match, when Luka returned to the Mavericks there was a lot of chatter about the situation. Many NBA fans, including Trae Young, admitted that Luka Doncic didn’t want to leave.
After the game, Donsic called on Mavericks fans to move on from their times together. But, at least according to Kendrick Perkins, the only way that happens is whether Nico Harrison makes one big move.

Speaking about the NBA today, Kendrick Perkins spoke about the current situation for the Dallas Mavericks. He pointed out that Nico Harrison has some jobs before him.
In fact, Perkins believes that all hope will not be lost for Harrison. But he needs to make a big move this offseason. It’s a deal with Kevin Durant.
“I say this. There’s a way for the Dallas Mavericks to do this right. A lot of people say, “They didn’t come back enough, they should have gotten Austin’s rebirth.” ”
“Do you know how they can get this right? As soon as the season ends, you’ll go out and get Kevin Durant. That’s how you get it right.”
“You have the work, you have some money to make the trade come into play. That’s how you can get it right if you’re Nico Harrison and the front office of the MAVS organization.

Many have linked Kevin Durant to the Dallas Mavericks for several months. The expectation was that Harrison wanted to combine Durant, Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis.
However, Harrison’s plans may have failed after Irving suffered from the career-changing ACL tears. But nonetheless, the link to Durant persists.
Former Mavericks star Theo Pinson also believes Harrison should trade for KD. And the sun is eager to start with Durant and blow up their team.
Given how the Suns handled their situation, Harrison was able to get Durant at a low price, and thus became a fan favorite again in Dallas.
