Nico Harrison is set in his ways, and this season could prove if he's right or not.
Nico Harrison has made it clear that he believes that defense wins championships, as he has emphasized this vision countless times since trading Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis at last season's trade deadline, and this controversial view will undoubtedly make or break their season.
This view is considered controversial, as Doncic, despite his defensive limitations, led the Mavericks to their first NBA Finals appearance since 2011, and today's NBA seems to favor teams that have an elite offensive engine, like Doncic, rather than a team that has excellent defense.
