The Mavericks fired general manager Harrison. Was it a mistake to trade Doncic that year?

As a basketball fan, I have never forgotten the day Doncic was traded, and what kind of response it caused in the fan circle. At that time, I was going shopping with my partner, but the WeChat message on my phone in my pants pocket kept ringing.

After a while, the group was full of messages, and the 99+ sign was displayed.

As long as you don't look at the message and put the phone away for a while, the message will be covered immediately. Friends in the group are all sending you messages, telling you that "Doncic was traded by the Mavericks in exchange for thick eyebrows."

To be honest, I was surprised and unbelievable when I first saw the news. I also thought it was fake news. I really can’t imagine that the Mavericks would trade their star star Doncic.

It's okay to be traded if you don't play well. Everyone is prepared. The key is that Doncic led the team to play very well in the past few years. They entered the Western Conference playoffs many times and even reached the finals. They were just one step away from winning the championship.

According to normal logic, as the management of the Mavericks team at this time, they only need to make minor repairs and build the team around Doncic. With the right helpers and a team built with him as the core, you can win the championship.

That's what Nowitzki was like back then.

The team also made it to the playoffs many times. It failed to win the championship in the first few times, but later still trusted Nowitzki. In the end, it paid off in 2011, and the team also made history.

Since the player has the strength and the potential to win the championship, then just continue to trust him and believe that he is capable of playing.

But I don’t know what happened. Harrison and others went crazy and quietly made a deal with the Lakers, exchanging Doncic for the big eyebrows. The reason is that "compared to Doncic, we believe that the team of Dongcic and Irving can win the championship."

But does this sentence really not make people question it?

When I commented on Anthony Davis before, I wrote an article about him and analyzed the injury history of Big Eyebrow. As for Davis, I really have no confidence in his injuries. I have always believed that he will be the team's "time bomb". It is inappropriate to build a team with him as the core.

After so many years in his career, Davis has suffered frequent injuries and has been unable to prove that he can lead the team to a championship alone.

The media knows about this, the fans know about it, and everyone knows it when watching football. Why can’t the Mavericks see it?

Regardless of the history of thick eyebrow injuries, trading Doncic in exchange for him is really "unbelievable". Even if you replace Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jokic, and Alexander, we all understand it easily, so why would you consider replacing Davis?

This is really incomprehensible.

Unfortunately, Irving was also injured later and was seriously injured, which made matters worse. This brought the Mavericks to a dead end.

Even if there is a No. 1 pick later and Flagg is signed, you can't think that the Mavericks' trade for Doncic was a good investment with a timely return.

No matter how talented Flagg is, he is still a rookie. In the history, there are very few rookies winning championships, not many. It's impossible for you to think that Flagg is here and forming the Big Three with Big Eyebrow and Irving, the team will win the championship immediately.

Such remarks are also ridiculous.

Injuries, team chemistry, lineup structure, and chemical reactions are not established overnight. Reality is not a 2K game. You can win the championship by buying superstars.

Ignoring reality and actual conditions and making hasty transactions will lead to failure.

In fact, after saying so much, there is one more thing that I haven’t mentioned yet, which is Doncic’s feelings for the Mavericks. This is really difficult to summarize in one sentence.

Regarding the team, Doncic goes with the attitude of "start from one to the end". Since signing, he has been following the example of his senior Nowitzki, trying to bring a championship to the Mavericks.

And Doncic is making progress step by step, and has proven himself with his results.

Whether it is the community or the local fan circle, Doncic is the totem of the team and can be the signature character of a team. When players invest all their emotions here and achieve results, but are eventually kicked out by the team, this hurts the feelings of the players and fans.

For the management of the Mavericks, if they did this, the results can be imagined, they can only get better but not worse. Once it goes bad, you will encounter backlash and all kinds of doubts will come overwhelmingly.

Why trade Doncic? Why was reconstruction so hasty and how did you do it? All kinds of angry emotions will break out frequently, and controversies will emerge one after another.

It breaks the hearts of players and fans, which is a huge loss to the club.

If the performance is poor, fans will not buy tickets to watch the game, and the income will also decline, which will also have side effects on the team.

As a Lakers player, you return to play in Dallas and see Doncic’s sad look. As a Mavericks fan, how do you feel? I'm afraid I feel bad inside too, with all sorts of mixed emotions.

What was wrong was wrong, and it was so wrong that it hurt everyone.

Firing Harrison and trading Big Eyebrow and Irving is only the first step. If there is no improvement after the reconstruction, and the results of building the team around Flagg are unstable, how will you feel when you look back at this deal?

It’s really the fate of people.

It’s incredible that a good hand is played to pieces.

Now that you have fired Harrison and admitted your mistake, you should take responsibility and make up for the mistakes in this transaction. In addition, for Doncic, the Mavericks can actually imitate Nash of the Suns and enter the palace for the second time.

When Nash couldn't play in the Suns when he was young, he had to go to the Mavericks. Later, there were problems with the contract renewal, and Nash returned to play for the Suns and helped the team return to the top.

There are many such stories in history.

If Doncic is too old and can't play on other teams, then go home and return to the Mavericks. Regardless of whether Doncic's ability at that time was as good as it is now, he could come back and help the team as a role player.

Even the old Kidd can return to the Mavericks, return to his home team where he originally played, and help Nowitzki win the championship. Why can't Doncic do the same?

I hope this idea of ​​mine can eventually come true. This is also the best way to resolve scars.
