 | Shams Charania: Nico Harrison came up with the idea to trade Luka Doncic. After the final, Patrick Dumont considered him a basketball genius18-03-2026 |
Shams Charania once again identified the author of the Luka Doncic exchange. Dallas general manager Nico Harrison was fired after Dallas` weak start to the season. Fans demanded the specialist’s resignation after the exchange of the team’s main star, Luka Doncic.
It was Nico Harrison`s decision, his idea that he submitted. But, of course, any exchange occurs with the knowledge and permission of the owner. The deal may have taken days or weeks to negotiate, but since the 2024 finals, Harrison`s relationship with Patrick Dumont has been as strong as it can be. According to my information, Dumont considered the manager a basketball genius and perceived his words as a revelation.
When Harrison came to him with the idea, they reached an agreement and the exchange took place, an insider told ESPN.
