This article summarizes Harrison’s past 9 months starting from the epic transaction

On February 2, 2025, an epic earthquake trade occurred in the NBA. In fact, I would call it the number one incredible trade in NBA history. This deal is a three-way deal between the Mavericks and the Lakers Jazz. The Mavericks traded Doncic, the team's core NBA first-team player for five consecutive years, to the Lakers. From the Lakers, they got Davis + Christie + 1 first round, etc.

I remember clearly that when the deal broke out, I was in disbelief. I believe many fans felt the same as me, including many NBA players. The reaction when they heard the news for the first time was very, very surprised. I still remember Durant’s stunned expression when he saw the news.

Harrison, who was the general manager of the Mavericks at the time, said that the reason for making this deal was because he felt that only the first defense can win the championship. He is a rare offensive and defensive player in the NBA, and he is also close to the championship FMVP player, and Doncic's offense is greater than defense. Second, Harrison believed at the time that Doncic not only had potential injuries, but was also not good at managing his body and would definitely go downhill. Therefore, Harrison strongly suggested to boss Dumont that Doncic be traded. Because once a star of Doncic's level is put on the market for trade, Mavericks fans will definitely be in trouble, so the Mavericks and Lakers quietly completed the deal.

As soon as the trade broke out, the sky fell apart for Mavericks fans. Fans came to the arena to protest and chanted "fire Nico" day and night. General manager Nick Harrison was afraid to go to the stadium for a time, and the team even equipped him with special security.

After the transaction, the Mavericks' record dropped, Irving was reimbursed for the season, Lively, Gafford, Big Eyebrow, and Washington also suffered injuries. The team suffered injuries one after another, so they missed the playoffs.

This situation did not ease until the team drew the No. 1 pick and Flagg, known as the Son of America, landed in Dallas. There are even many fans who believe that Flagg, the son of America, is more suitable for the future of the team than Doncic because he is younger.

But the cruel reality soon came to the regular season this season. Flagg had a dismal start. Compared to other rookies, the American son seemed to hit the rookie wall at the beginning. And the big eyebrow fell again, and Klay was in no condition, and Irving was still in a few months' comeback. The Mavericks have been ranked at the bottom of the Western Conference. Fans' slogan "Fire Nico" rang out again, not only at home, but also in away games. Away fans also used this slogan to interfere with Mavericks players' free throws.

Until yesterday, the Mavericks boss was completely unable to sit still and made the decision to fire Harrison. Since then, the Harrison era has ended, but this farce is definitely not over yet. After all, with a Doncic-level star and a deal with the Lakers, the popularity will always be there.

Written at the end, from the birth of the trade on February 2 to the firing of Harrison on November 12, in just 9 months, the Mavericks have already regretted it, but there is no way to change it. I can only say that everything is looking to the future, don't look back, it will be ugly to look back!
