The chants started shortly after Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison stunningly dealt Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in early February and have continued up until the end of the 2024-25 season, with the Mavs getting eliminated from postseason contention last week.

Nico Harrison finally spoke in public to reporters for the first time since the day after the Luka Doncic trade on Feb. 2, and some of his comments drew the ire of the Inside the NBA crew on TNT. Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith offered advice to the Mavericks GM on what he should do moving forward.

Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison says he miscalculated the depth of love his club's fans had for Luka Doncic before the trade that sent the young superstar to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis.
