Since trading away Luka Doncic at the trade deadline this past season, Dallas Mavericks fans have had it out for Nico Harrison and any move he has made. While trading away Doncic and Quentin Grimes, who continues to make the Mavericks regret trading him away, were without a doubt two non-forgivable decisions, Harrison has quietly done an amazing job this offseason.
Since the beginning of May, Harrison has silently been on a redemption tour after being gifted the No. 1 overall pick, which, by all accounts, has changed the direction of the Mavs' franchise forever. Harrison hasn't just drafted Cooper Flagg with the first overall pick in this year's draft, but he signed D'Angelo Russell to a team-friendly deal to become Dallas' next stopgap point guard while Kyrie Irving remains sidelined with a torn ACL.
