Nico Harrison | Exit Interview | 23-24 Season 

HFY!!!

Love Nico!!! I also love Jim Nill with the Dallas Stars and Chris Young with the Texas Rangers. If Jerry Jones steps aside for Will McClay then I’ll have faith in the Cowboys as well!!!

Dude same

he just got his contract extension

No we’re not. He’s traded away all our assets, wasted money on THJ and Kleber, and the team has little hope of improving more than the other young teams in the west. They have one first round pick until 2030 and no one is coming off the cap space for this coming season. He’s handstrung the Mavs and once again he was bailed out by Luka and to some degree Kyrie. Very unfortunate.

@RobMoreno-mw5uq you’re not thinking deeply about this. The Mavs used ALL of their assets to get it together for this season, while taking advantage of the west being young still and no team besides Denver being championship ready. Thunder have already made a huge move without even trading any of their million first round picks, getting a good perimeter defender in Caruso. The Mavs young guys have limited upside besides Lively. You think PJ and Gafford and Josh Green are going to improve more than Jaylen Williams, Chet, Antman, Wemby, etc? Kyrie is getting older and already showing he’s not the prime reliable Kyrie in that finals dud. The Mavs have not one player coming off the books for this coming season. They have TWO more years of Kleber who is trending toward becoming unplayable for $11 mil a year, THJ almost unplayable at $19 mil a year. There’s no 3 point shooters to speak of on this team. The Mavs blew it by not locking up Brunson for the right price after drafting and developing him, he would have never disappeared in the finals like Kyrie. They also blew it by trading a bunch of first round picks for porzingis and then trading him for Dinwiddie and a bag of chips, they should have rode it out with him. I’m a Mavs fan and it was a great season but they are not in a good position at all to build on this. They need Paul George or Tobias Harris to have a real chance this coming season and they can’t afford PG, and Tobias, who knows if he can show up when it counts. If you think the Mavs can just “develop” from last year and somehow get over the top, that’s just wishful thinking.

@@invisobill2125he made trades that needed to be made and all those players matched or overachieved expectations. He finally got the mavs two good centers and he has a lot to work with now. First rounders aren’t everything, and when you have somebody like Luka, you need to grasp those opportunities to improve the team, even if that means trading picks. They want to win now instead of waiting for development through drafts. People are acting like they traded first rounders for 34+ year-old players. This core is young, and Nico has done a great job changing this core in a relatively short time!

​@@invisobill2125💯, Mavs fans are delusional if they think Nico is a competent gm

@RobMoreno-mw5uq you think Pj and Gaff are gonna develop into much more than what they are? The Thunder have way more developmental upside with Chet, Jaylen Williams, and a million first round picks to trade for better talent and have already made a crucial trade for Caruso. Same with the Wolves with Ant Man and McDaniels. Nico saved his own a$$ from an absolute total failure this season with those mid season trades, but it can’t undo the damage he’s done in the shuffle for Porzingis and failing of re-signing Brunson. He signed Christian Wood, what a move, I knew that was a bad signing when it happened, traded Porzingis for bags of chips that we promptly traded away/didn’t re-sign. Like I said, he’s done the bare minimum finally to allow Luka to pull this off, but no one is sitting here thinking the Mavs are some kind of well constructed team. He sold away their future for a short term success that was finally rescued this season, but the west is simply too good for Dallas to just sit by with no draft picks, no cap space, and just “develop more.” Luka and Kyrie can only be relied upon for so long through a season when THJ is your third highest paid player….

as good as the moves were he didn’t bring in an all star player while receiving first round picks for said all star like steven’s did with porzingis

@@kolbin20 When you can go over the cap by 19 mill and the owner is fine paying 39 mill luxury tax like Celtics did last season and more next year, then it gives you much greater freedom. Not sure we should reward incompetent GM's with award for that though. Mavs didn't go over this year and still made finals.

@@RighteousUncle To put things into perspective. Luka/Kyrie made it to the Finals their first year together. Clippers core have been together since the Bubble and no Finals appearance. Joel Embiid has been "Trusting the process" since forever. Mavs overachieved this season.

Brad Stevens deserved it more

@@patsfan4929 I don't know, if we should reward GM's who go into luxury tax so hard, but hard to argue with the end result. Not always works just look at the Warriors they burned over 177 mill to not even make the playoffs. I just find a GM who made timely trades for a team that didn't even make the play-in last season all the way into finals in just a year much more impressive.

He doesn’t wanna say he wants to trade thj

@@basedleechaobla If he does... I'm gonna throw a party

@@alhirsosa We are going to have to trade THJ to sign DJJ to a competive contract, so I think we have to trade him

@@alhirsosa We are*

Nobody wants to pay THJ $19 mil a year to watch him brick 3s and play bad defense. Nico has really messed up this franchise and gotten bailed out by Luka and Kai.

he has to say that

Yeah, I don’t think DJJ should start. Why even repeat this starting group since it didn’t win them a chip.

@@fringe_minority okay good lol I was worried bro

@@JorgeRodriguez-re4gu Mavs need offense Jorge! We failed to score 100+ points in 4/5 games. We nearly got swept. DJJ isn't it. An off night of Kyrie/Luka is likely a loss

It‘s obvious that they will make a few moves, but the job of a GM is to show the rest of the league that you aren’t desperate to make those moves. The more desperation you show, the less you are likely going to get back.

@RobMoreno-mw5uq that’s the point, they need another 6’8’ or 6’9’ tall number four that can defend, dribble attack and make 3s consistently, if they get Advija from the wizards that will make it. But they have to retain Jones Jr. also

@RobMoreno-mw5uq Took them long enough! Kyrie/Luka made it to the Finals their first full season.

@@EduardoOliveira-zx9juand then they choked to their daddy jb

The title is not misleading. That’s what every interview at the end of the basketball season is called throughout the NBA. Every team has them. They’re called exit interviews because the season is done for the year until the next one starts that’s all it means.. the other teams that were no longer in the playoffs have already had their exit interviews

Drafting Lively was a fluke, too?

He inherited a mess and was tasked with turning it around as soon as possible so that Luka doesn’t get fed up and leave. We just made the Finals, rethink your take.

You know not many would agree w your statement Nico is “clown” don’t you? He’s widely respected. Being a lone or 5% voice doesn’t make you correct or even interesting.

@@charold3 why would I post a comment just for likes. What kind of idiot does that?

Luka should force them to get better players because they go nowhere without Luka.
