Mavericks fans couldn’t wait nico harrison he was kicked after doing business luka doncic For the Lakers… but the NBA champions kendrick perkins Still believe both sides won the infamous deal – telling tmz sports We’ll find out when Dallas gets healthy!!
Harrison was handed his pink slip on Tuesday… an inevitable move nine months after the franchise player was sent to LA in exchange for Anthony Davis.
At the time, Perks said he liked the transaction for both parties… but Mavs supporters weren’t buying it – and wanted Harrison gone as soon as possible.
Now that he got his wish, we checked out Perk’s previous take at LAX on Wednesday… and he’s not ready to give up just yet.
“In fairness to Nico, he lost his job – he didn’t get a chance to see that team fully healthy. We still haven’t seen Kyrie Irving and AD touch the floor together in a Dallas Maverick uniform, which is unfortunate, but when you trade an international superstar, you have very little margin for error. And that’s what ended up happening.”
Combine the Luka trade with a 3-8 start… and ownership was ready to pull the plug.
So when we asked if Harrison got the short end of the stick, Perkins made a ridiculous comparison — watch the clip for that, ’cause words can’t do it justice.
As for what’s next for the former GM, Perk suggests Harrison should take a little break to get his sanity back… which isn’t a bad idea considering the “Fire Nico” chants are probably still ringing in his ears.
