00:00Yeah, it is a weird feeling, right?

00:02A weird scenario, a weird situation.

00:04But I think what you are highlighting, DRS,

00:06is the overwhelming sentiment among the city of Dallas

00:09and the Mavericks fan base.

00:11They are absolutely devastated by this move.

00:14They were more stunned than anybody else around the association.

00:17Among the fans, Luka Doncic loved,

00:20which makes this trade all that much more stunning.

00:23As reports have said, it was one man acting single-handedly.

00:28General Manager Nico Harrison that pulled this off in the shadows.

00:32Had to be okayed by ownership, we would anticipate.

00:36But it was Nico Harrison that has those ill-will feelings to Luka Doncic.

00:40Basically, everybody else in the Mavericks organization and fan base

00:45and the entirety of the NBA thinks this guy is a bona fide superstar,

00:49of course, of which he is.

00:52But I do hear your point, DRS,

00:53because if Nico Harrison is the guy that can pull off this blockbuster deal

00:57that shocks the entirety of a fan-based city and the entirety of a league,

01:02then he is probably the guy that has to okay the shirts being on the seats

01:06for all the fans to don to welcome back, Luka Doncic.

01:10Yes, and you hit the nail on the head.

01:13Like, the fans have every right to go to that arena,

01:15wear his jersey, cheer him wildly.

01:17But I just don't understand the feeling like,

01:19hey, we're going to have a great night tonight, Mavericks fans.

01:21Come back into the arena, watch Luka destroy us

01:23when you know he should be our player for the next 10 years.

01:26And then one answers.

01:27At least Nico can get up in front of the microphone and say,

01:29this is on me.

01:30Nico, why did you trade him?

01:31The guy drinks, and I don't know, I'm just putting this out.

01:34The guy drinks all night.

01:35He doesn't show up to practice.

01:37He's lazy.

01:37We're not spending $300 to $500 million over the next 10 years on this guy.

01:42That's why I traded him.

01:43Just own it and be honest with yourself.

01:46Because everybody, you're right, around the NBA goes,

01:48I don't understand how this happened.

01:50And the way it was pulled off, right, in the middle of the night

01:52where the Lakers were like, don't you dare let this get out

01:54until this trade is done.

01:56We are going to steal a superstar in Los Angeles.

01:59And you know what?

02:00The NBA didn't even go in.

02:01So you know what?

02:02I think, Dallas, you want to think about this for 24 hours

02:04before you pull this off.

02:05They love the fact that he went to Los Angeles.

02:07The only big losers in this weren't Luka Doncic

02:10because he gets to play in Los Angeles with the Lakers.

02:12It was the Mavericks fans going like, we have a superstar.

02:14We love this guy.

02:15We're going to watch him 10 more years.

02:17And yes, he may be able to bring us a championship.

02:19But you trade him in the dark of the night

02:21and now you expect all the love and kindness like,

02:23welcome back, welcome back.

02:24That's for the fans, not for the ownership group.

02:27I can't understand what happened last night

02:28except Luka came back bald and showed you like,

02:31I'm the best player that ever played for the Dallas Mavericks

02:33and you got rid of me?

02:34Take this.
