It turns out fans aren't the only ones turning on Mavericks GM Nico Harrison. His reputation has absolutely plummeted in the past months for a myriad of reasons, not simply related to the Doncic trade (though this is the primary catalyst).

Former Dallas forward Chandler Parsons spoke out about the controversial general manager on FanDuelTV . "Imagine the GM of the Spurs making a trade and saying, 'I don't care what Tim Duncan or David Robinson [have to say]. They didn't even ask him about that.



He just willingly brought up the best Mav of all time and said that his opinion doesn't matter, or the fanbase that buys the tickets...

[doesn't] matter...

This is just the weirdest interview I've ever seen...

It's tone deaf...

I don't care that he's older, I don't care that he's been hurt.' [Trashing Dirk Nowitzki] is very cowardly; it's very weird. I don't understand how they even let him do this.

" Since the trade, the Mavericks are 13-20 after being 26-23 beforehand, but they did extend their season with a win in the Play-In Tournament against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. In many of those losses before the deal, Doncic had suffered from injury, but he has played in nearly every game for the Lakers. Davis played in nine regular-season games this season for Dallas after dealing with an adductor strain.
