Mark Cuban spoke about the infamous Luka Donsic trade and what Nico Harrison told him when the move came together.
Nico Harrison will become infamous among Dallas Mavericks fans. His decision to trade Luka Doncic is one of the most shocking things in NBA history.
Many people wonder why Mavs GM does this. Matt Burns believes Nico Harrison is the fall man, but that wasn’t his decision.
One ESPN analyst believes Harrison made one important mistake in Don Sic’s saga. Nico’s decision to trade Luka has a greater impact as it could cost Mavs $1 billion.
Harrison may have a way to regain the trust of Maverick fans, but that doesn’t seem like that. And the new information revealed by Mark Cuba shows how much it was his appeal.

Mark Cuban spoke to Stephen A. Smith about Luka Donsic’s trade. He noted that everything Nico Harrison said in public was consistent with his version of the event.
He disagreed with the decision, but added that the addition of Anthony Davis changed the team. Cuba made it clear that he didn’t get much feedback from Harrison, but he thanked the phone.
“I’ve heard what Nico said publicly and personally. It was the defence decided to win the championship, and he thought Anthony Davis was the better anchor for our defense.”
“The truth lies between AD, Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford. This is the three best in the NBA. But Luka Doncic is a generational talent and there is a debate to be debated, but he understands where Nico comes from.
When I looked it up… “I said, ‘You were right to me, this isn’t over,’ and he said, ‘No, it’s over,’ and I said, ‘OK…I won’t talk any more, I never did this, and thank you for calling me.”

Trade initially caught him off guard, but Luka Donsic adapted to living with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Lakers fans have embraced the superstar. And despite some struggles in court, Don Sic is clearly happy to play for Los Angeles.
Since joining the Lakers, he has averaged 27.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists. The hope is that his form will get even better towards the playoffs.
The Lakers have landed stars who can become the face of the franchise for the next few years. And it all came from a controversial call from Nico Harrison.
