According to the man himself, Nico Harrison has no regrets or sadness from trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis.

Harrison and newly promoted Dallas Mavericks’ CEO Rick Welts held a private press conference to speak on the trade and the future of the Mavericks.

“There’s no regrets on the trade,” said Harrison. “Part of my job is to do the best thing for the Mavericks, not only today, but also in the future, and some of the decisions I’m going to make are going to be unpopular. That’s my job and I have to stand by it.”

Harrison stated that fans have not always liked his trades, beyond the significant one he made a couple months ago.

“Well, the beauty of Dallas is it is a passionate fan base,” Harrison said. “For us to reach our goals, we need that fan base. And to be honest with you, every trade I’ve made since I’ve been here has not been regarded as a good trade, and so sometimes it takes time. When I traded for Kyrie, it was met with a lot of skepticism and it was graded as a terrible trade and you didn’t see it right away, but eventually everyone agreed that that was a great trade. When I traded for [Gafford] and [Washington] again, it was like, ‘Oh, he gave up way too much. These guys aren’t going to help us.’ Now that trade, you saw the evidence a lot sooner. So I think a lot of times trades take a little bit of time.

The general manager still believes they have a three-to-four year window of competing for a championship.

According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the Phoenix Suns are expected to offer Devin Booker a two-year, $149.8 million deal. This is to convince him to stay in the midst of a potential rebuild.

During the 2022 season, Booker signed a supermax extension worth four years, $220 million. If he were to sign the deal, this would take the veteran guard through his prime years of his career.

It has been made clear the Suns highly value Booker and want him to be the focal point of their reset. This comes after reports from Shams Charania, and others, surrounding Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal no longer being apart of their future.

Despite the horrific season, led by terminated head coach Mike Budenholzer, Booker averaged 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists.

According to multiple reports, confirmed by the Denver Nuggets, the organization has named Ben Tenzer the interim general manager until they can find a permanent front officer leader.

Tenzer currently holds the position of vice president of basketball operations, a promotion he received in 2023-24. Before that promotion, he worked in Denver’s front office since 2012-2013.

Not too long ago, former general manager Calvin Booth was informed by owner Josh Kroenke he would be fired games before the postseason.

It’s expected they find their new manager after the postseason is over.
