Nico Harrison…is that so?
The Dallas Mavericks general manager may have seen him from his home, but his thought process about trading Luka Donsic has been in the spotlight.
In particular, Donsic struggled to impose himself defensively, despite posting strong offensive numbers. The Los Angeles Lakers were also seen as a factor as five starters accumulated heavy weights to make up for the weaker bench.
Los Angeles has raised the Western Conference Ladder to the No. 3 seed following Donz’s trade, but the playoffs revealed their team’s weaknesses. The No. 6 seed Minnesota Timberwolves are streamed when it matters, and Julius Randle also enjoys a solid series considering the misery of his past.
The first postseason of LeBron James’ Don Chic era ended with an early failure, and as James turns 41 next season, Rob Perinka is doing more work.
How social media responded to the Lakers’ elimination includes Mavericks GM.
Nico Harrison was right he just didn’t stitch the right trade package

Luka is my favorite player, but I don’t think he’s going to do a deep soul search this offseason. He needs to lock his competitive edge and hopefully this is an offseason that will ultimately change his career for better.

By night, the NBA team was 0-9 in history when they tried more than 40 and earned less than 15% of them.
They’re 1-9 now.
This was a historically unusually bad shooting performance, and Minnesota still won.
The Lakers should be humiliated.

You can’t wait for LeBron’s year: “I’m going to take the time to talk to my family and decide what to do next.”

Luka Doncic has been featured as the Los Angeles Lakers’ latest star and has said that trade with the Dallas Mavericks is a shock, but as a member of the Lakers, he is “proving everything.”
