Rob Pelinka and Nico Harrison's Trading History

Rob Pelinka and Nico Harrison's trading history happened this year when Nico Harrison traded Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a first-round draft pick in exchange for Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris. This trade was a shock, especially since Luka Doncic, known as an "untouchable" in the Dallas Mavericks' history, got traded immediately without Nico Harrison having second thoughts.

Because of Rob Pelinka watching the Dallas Mavericks vs. the Golden States Warriors game a few days ago, Mavs fans felt a pang of bitterness and dread because, besides adding insult to their Luka Doncic-shaped wounds, Nico and Rob are also seen chatting happily, making the Dallas Mavericks' fans think that there will be another trade to their respective teams.

The interaction between Nico Harrison and Rob Pelinka elicited several hilarious reactions, making fans watch the 2 GMs closely—especially since the Luka Doncic trade is still fresh in the minds of the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers fans.
