He sat out in an exclusive interview for the Dallas Mavericks and tried to re-assure the fans, but no matter what he says it is obviously still a big blow for the Mavs and their fans to lose a 25 year old generational superstar in Luka Doncic. Nico Harrison just made a horrible move, and it will never fully make sense why he did it.

  2. >He sat out in an exclusive interview for the Dallas Mavericks

    His employer got him to legitimise the poor decisions of the GM&owner on camera. That’s some exclusive interview.

  4. “I know you lost a superstar in Luka, but you also gain a superstar like myself.”

    He doesn’t get it man…

  5. It’s really just the age and the injury stuff. If both of them were 25 and not super injury prone, I don’t think the backlash would be like this. I’m sure it would still suck for mavs fans letting a guy they love so much go(And I still do think Luka is better than AD), but it wouldn’t be half as bad as it is right now.

  6. Thank you for 2020 AD, your jersey will be retired in LA

    but you’re turning 32 with a lot of injury history man

    Kyrie’s gonna be out next year

    Dallas Mavericks window is done

    edit.: Lakers jersey retirement requirement: Contribution to a Championship and Hall of Fame Career.

  7. AD’s legacy is going to include being part of this trade, which sucks for him. Nico managing to burn people left and right just by association.

  8. That Top 75 list got some people too full of themselves. Not saying he’s bad, but Lillard, him were all controversial selections.

    Zion can be top 100 if you only consider games played.

  10. “I just want to let the fans in Dallas know, I’m here… on the bench, all the time.”

  11. If Luka plays for the rest of the season, Lakers will have gotten 42 games of AD (compared to Mavs 0.75) and 31 games from Luka (compared to Mavs 22)

  14. If you watch AD when he won the chip, and now the gap movement and athleticism is just incredible whatever the number says. He just aged bad, tbh man. He isn’t a normal 31 year old.

  15. I feel bad for AD a bit, not only are the Lakers much better without him now with Luka but from the moment the trade happened the vast majority of people were like “Luka for basically nothing” lmao he’s had to listen to how it’s the most lop sided trade in history, he has to feel a little insulted not a single person thinks he’s worth even half of a Luka in a deal

  17. Here’s the thing about him being in the top 75…

    When that list was made, Jokic was not on it. Guess what, Jokic should be on it.

    I don’t know who you’re taking off, but I’d argue Jokic should be higher on the list than Davis.

  20. AD is great and I wouldn’t expect him to say anything else, but no amount of attempts to legitimize this are going to work. There’s no closing Pandora’s Box.

  21. “How do you describe the Luka trade to girls?”

    “It’s like if Destiny’s Child traded Beyonce to TLC for Chili.”

  22. I appreciate that AD’s trying to put a positive spin on it. The negativity around the trade isn’t his fault and he certainly doesn’t deserve blame for it, nor did he choose to be injured. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t one of the dumbest trades in professional sports history.

  23. AD brings certainty to the Mavs.

    Before, they were uncertain whether their superstar would be injured much of the time.

    Now, they can be confident.

  24. Former mavs fan here.

    Don’t care.

    I know it isn’t his fault, but as much as I used to love this team is the amount I hate the front office now. The ONLY way to salvage this is to fire nico TODAY. Trade AD for draft capital, because for the time he is going to be here, the mavs are gonna SUCK so we need to utilize his value before he gets hurt again.

  25. This trade is legitimately one of the most idiotic things i have ever seen in my life, not just in sports.

  26. No matter how much he defends his owner’s ass in front of the fans, the world already hates him for what he did, well except the Lakers fans.
