US media: Harrison ruined the Doncic era that belonged to the Lone Ranger, and his departure will not help.
6686 Sports News on November 12 After the Mavericks fired team general manager Nico Harrison, the well-known sports media Clutch Points issued an article stating that Harrison's departure was a long-anticipated result, but the negative impact he had on the Mavericks during his tenure has been irreparable, and his departure will not help.
Clutch Points wrote: Harrison is out of class. To be honest, Mavericks fans have expected this for a long time - they are looking forward to this day and are still shouting 'Fire Nico! ’ This is the general manager who made the still-unbelievable trade—sending away the team’s face, Luka Doncic, in exchange for Anthony Davis…and just 14 non-existent games. "
In order to tease Harrison, Clutch Points did not forget to remind in the article: "Now Doncic has played 35 games for the Lakers, lighting up the entire Western Conference; while the Mavericks are at the bottom with 3 wins and 8 losses, even though they have just won the No. 1 pick. ”
In addition, Clutch Points also lamented that Harrison’s fall from “creative Nike executive” to “Dallas’ number one public enemy” was unparalleled, and he had many negative labels on his head: bad contracts, missed trades, players losing trust in him, and the unforgivable deal of sending away Luka Doncic.
And in the end, Clutch Points has not forgotten "killing people": Remember when Harrison said that he was "rebuilding for the future"? That "future" became - missing the playoffs after the Finals, the locker room collapsed, and the team chemistry completely collapsed. He gave up those things that could match Lu. The star with a stuck timeline couldn't come up with any answers when everything collapsed. Acquiring No. 1 pick Cooper Flag should have rekindled Dallas' expectations, but the reality is: the team has 3 wins and 8 losses, lost its direction, and lost its soul.
In the end, Clutch. Points concluded: Harrison is gone, and the fans are celebrating, but they have mixed feelings in their hearts, because they know that what they really lost is not just a general manager, but a "Doncic Era" that may have gone down in history.
