The Nico Harrison Effect

Because of what Nico Harrison did to Luka Dončić, he became Dallas' public enemy number 1 because he removed the "Luka Magic" in their city. According to him, he traded Luka Dončić because he wants players that fit their culture, and he believes that defense wins championships. Whatever his reasons are, it is sure that every Dallas Mavericks fan is mad at his decision. If you have seen the news, you already know that THEY ARE FUMING!

Luka Dončić's trade is one for the books—even brands are reacting to it! Marketing-wise, it's a great strategy, but for the Dallas Mavericks fans and its players, they really lost a gem in their team. Let's just hope that Nico Harrison's decision doesn't bite him back. Because that trade? Oh boy, that was the TRADE of NBA history—but not in a good way!
