Nico Harrison’s Tim McMahon is working on Luka Donchic’s trade with the Lakers: Nico Harrison doubled, tripled, he quadrupled… I could continue and I ran off my finger counting the number of times he said defensive victory championship. So he’s stuck with it. Now, last year’s Mavericks had the top defense in their final 20 games of the league, even in their final match against the Celtics, with a defensive rating of 109.2. It would have been ranked second in the league in last year’s regular season. They lost the series for other reasons, but that logic may not necessarily be added. This isn’t the case either. The Mavericks owes the first round draft capital for successful transactions around Luka, either in full or swap, at ’27, ’28, ’29, ’30. Nico Harrison created what he called the three- to four-year time slot a championship competitor. I pushed that logic back. He just kept returning to the defensive victory championship mantra. Frankly, a lot doesn’t make sense, but Nico has made it clear that he plans to become the Mavericks general manager for the rest of the three-year deal.
