Why is no one including LeBron’s role of this trade.
Segments like this are why they win Emmys.
Kyrie isn’t staying and even if he does stay. Both kyrie and AD haven’t proven they can’t win a championship without LeBron. Very good but overrated players.
It's not all Nico's fault, he's the scapegoat. The owner approved the trade
I didn’t know one of the best players was important with the fan base. -Nico
This guy shouldn’t even have a job in the nba. Where was he the last few years? Make it make sense it don’t. Just say that the ratings are failing the lakers are best known for team and what better way to improve this boring mess.
Mavs fans should pick a different team to support. The goal should be zero people in the arena next season. Force the owners to sell the team. What a disgrace. Worst trade since the Babe went to NY.
Charles is so funny! Who raised those ticket prices? 😂😂😂😂
I agree with Kenny’s take. The decision’s been made and Harrison has to live with it. These attempts at trying to do damage control haven’t done anything but cause more damage. The Mavericks could win multiple titles going forward and the fan base will still never forgive him. He will always be the guy who traded away Luka Doncic. Just own it and move on.
Sorry shaq he dgaf. This is all about moving to vegas. Nico is such an a-hole that he took the worldly responsibility of this trade to sabotage the mavericks.
Man it's nice to be rich. When I get money I'm going to have a Fall Guy for everything 😅. Nico Harrison is taking all these bullets as if he would ever make a trade this dumb in the capacity of a gm. The fix was in, hands were greased so that the Lakers could be great again. That's the League and owners in cahoots. But the stupid fans can only think "fire Nico".
shaq need a differen't color suit!
There’s an agenda to kill the Dallas mavs and we all know it and he doesn’t wanna admit it.
Nico is the perfect fall guy b/c he cannot think on his feet. He said players want to come to Dallas. When you had Luka and Kyrie, sure…but not anymore. Maybe AFTER y'all relocate to Vegas players who are shallow will want to come there. But it won't be to win championships for the foreseeable future as long as Area 51 and Fox are winning titles.
NBA is looking to move them to Vegas IF the Texas Legislature doesn't cooperate in 2027. Austin did Not cooperate in 2025, and Abbott is not going to call a special session between now and January, 2027 as that is too risky. It would reveal who is running Texas politics. Vote me for Governor in 2026.
Most Sheeple actually BELIEVE Nico did this on his own. How stupid is that? No, sheeple, Mavs ownership (The Tribe) did this and they will fire him soon enough. HOWEVER, don't feel sorry for Nico as he is already going to be handsomely rewarded…under the table, of course. For the rest of his life He will not want for $ the rest of his life.
Hes right I cant remember another trade thats had this many press conferences its getting silly
The team did not want to pay Luca $350 million so they traded him to the Lakers and the Lakers would only have to pay him $275 million because he doesn’t get the full amount anymore because he was traded. Also, they only have to pay Anthony Davis for two more years.
These billionaires do not want to pay that type of money to one player when the viewer ship is down in the ticket sales are down, and the Jersey sales are down and it did not seem like they were winning a championship anytime soon considering what Cleveland, Boston and Houston and Denver are doing
They are blaming this man for doing what the owners of the team told him to do.
0:11 Nico i consider you a friend of mine
2:07 i don't know Nico that well
nice friendship it must be
If Nico was against the idea, he’d resign rather than put his name on a trade he knew would forever live on his resume.
Nico actually wanted this and ownership agreed.
Disaster.
This is what happens when a GM's ego is bigger than the team.
It’s obvious the new owner(s) is trying to sabotage the team so he can move them to Vegas. Adam Silver would be dumber than I thought if this were to happen.
This is what we call playing in our face. Dallas fans quit going to games, buying merchandise and watching the mavericks on TV til they stop playing in your face. If it's gonna be about money to them, let it be about money to you!
Why is Kenny smith still on the show. He brings nothing
Mavs are dead.
Nico is an idiot full stop.
Now u can move the team to LV cause fans don't want to see this shitshow
Best advice Chuck has given in a while. Not sure why Nico keeps commenting on the trade when we all know the decision came from above him. Stop falling on the sword for an owner that’s gonna fire him when they end up moving the team
The day Luka was traded till the day Mavericks was knockout from the play in was exactly 77 days…. Luka's number….
Nico need to be investigated 😭😂😂
If Luka wins a ring this year, good god Nico you better get out the country.
Nico seems like an ostrich with his head in the sand. He needs to go.
Nuff' said move on😮
KENNY IT IS AN L
Chuck is right. Lay low for a while 😢
Nico talks like he is weak and scared. Got his lunch money. Some people shouldn’t have the “DEI” positions they are over. Face of your franchise to face of the nba in LA. Just watch 🤦🏻♂️
Isn’t Nico the same Nike rep who spent an entire pitch meeting with Steph Curry calling him “Seth,” and then accidentally showing him a presentation intended for Kevin Durant?
sometimes it really is as simple as shut the fuck up, and when you can’t do that something’s seriously wrong
Travis you really love surprising us don’t you? IN LOVE WITH THE SONG!!!
“I consider you a friend” proceeds to shit on him on National television, Americans man 😂, consider money and own reputation over “friend”. Nico made worst trade in history but chuck made worst PTC take of all time. Selfish and egotistical. Shaq was right. Chuck showed his intelligence here. Nothing much to show.
