Nico Harrison receiving death threats

[darealvelle]

Nico Harrison is more hated than Jerry Jones!

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Goat poster]

I'm starting to want AD to HOOP because he is becoming UNDERRATED because of this trade

I understand the trade was bad

But AD is STILL a bad man and last time on the court he dropped 40/20

I hope he takes ALL THIS PERSONAL

If he was some white boy they wouldn’t be doing all that let’s be real

Yeah they would, just look up the Wayne Gretzky trade to the Kings

 

[dtownreppin214]

No he fukking shouldn’t

Yes, he should.

Its been said already but it can't be said enough. This trade does not happen unless ownership signs off on it. If fans are that mad, boycott the team and force ownership to sale. This trade should tell you exactly the direction new ownership is trying to take the franchise.

 

[Henry Orbit]

He's only doing what the owners allowed. Dont condone this cac ass behavior

The owner of the Edmonton Oilers said he slept for years with a gun on his nightstand after getting death threats for trading Wayne Gretzky

I don't condone it, but I wouldn't put anything past nutty sports fans

 

[Wargames]

Yes, he should.

We in the middle of a coup, the economy fitting to crash, global warming gonna kill half of us, and you want to kill a dude cause he made a lousy sports trade?



Just Boo him and the owner, and stop buying tickets. He’ll be fired soon enough.

 

[concise]

Well, you made arguably the worst trade in sports history and laughed about it in the faces of your fan base, what did you expect?

We'll see how those fans react after Adelson takes "their team" away to Las Vegas in a few years.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

The racist fans and c00ns on here like @Gil Scott-Heroin have been wishing ill on that man because he had the nerve to trade a white man away

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Sports and deaths threats so common.


That was top 5 stupidest trade ever.


Mafukking Aqib Talib’s brother literally killed a kid's football coach in Dallas over some dumb ass shyt in front of the kids.

The owner of the Edmonton Oilers said he slept for years with a gun on his nightstand after getting death threats for trading Wayne Gretzky

Reading about this, Wayne found out they were going to trade him 2 hours after wining the Stanley Cup

 

[UpAndComing]

Damn shame he's being the scapegoat for what the upper management made him do.

And ownership skates from all the vitriol

Facts. In the Corporate world, most of the times being a Manager means you are doing the Owner's dirty work

I posted this in another thread -

The Luka Dončić Trade — My Perspective as an Ex-Mavericks Analytics Staffer Who Spent Two Years Pushing to Trade Him

Eight insights into the Luka-to-Lakers deal, plus a theory about what went wrong and a look into the future

www.roycewebb.com

• Luka plays a brand of basketball that generates raw numbers that overstate his impact. This has gotten better over the last few years but the Mavericks’ own internal models showed him as significantly overrated
• There are questions about Luka’s commitment to doing the things that lead to winning like getting back in transition, rotating on defense, boxing out, being conditioned etc. It appears these questions are much more serious than this sub thinks
• Luka requires very specific team construction to get the best out of him
• This trade would have never happened with Mark Cuban at the helm and Nico Harrison surrounded himself with “yes-men”

In summary the author agreed with the decision to trade him but thought they could’ve gotten more. While the author was with the Mavs he had proposed a Luka for Tatum + picks trade for example.

The most interesting part of the article imo is that the Mavs’ own internal models showed that Luka is overrated, this is especially notable since they have by far the most data on him.

It means the planting of the seeds to trade Luka were done years ago. This wasn't a decision they came to recently. I originally thought the new owners were ultimately behind this, but the wheels had been set into motion years ago. It's no coindidence the triggered was only pulled when Cuban stopped being a majority owner.

Who knew the organization had designs of trading him long ago. Nico just had the bravery/stupidity to be the one to jump.

The threats are definitely real which is very sad.

I was listening to some of the local radio shows and the hosts had to cut some callers off because they were making death threats. Again Dallas was spoiled by Dirk & Luka.

I had a patient the other day talking about Nico and called him everything but a nikka, he didn’t say it only because I was standing there but that train is never late.

Nico is the fall guy for sure, maybe one day we will get the real truth about the straw that broke the camels back. Reading between the lines Nico kept mentioning “character guys that fit the culture”.

I’m sure Jason Kidd expressed some frustration with Luka, maybe not to the point of trading him. But the organization from top to bottom played a role and it had to be really bad in my opinion, they knew what he meant the city.

If 24-25 year old LeBron was traded from Cleveland, those white folks probably would’ve burned down Dan Gilbert’s house with him in it. Some take it way too far and it’s always one in the crowd willing to crash out for sure and is not bluffing, unfortunately that’s what Nico has to watch out for.
