"No death threats today?" - Mavericks fans react to Nico Harrison sighting at home arena since mega Luka Doncic trade

The Dallas Mavericks fanbase is in a frenzy after general manager Nico Harrison traded Luka Doncic to the LA Lakers. While fans have no problem in acquiring Anthony Davis in exchange, they feel betrayed by the idea of getting rid of their poster boy.

Doncic represented the Mavericks for seven seasons and was seen as the one next in line after Dirk Nowitzki had retired in 2019. However, Luka's time in Dallas came to an abrupt end, leading to fan ager at the Mavs' front office. They even went as far as protesting on Saturday before the Houston Rockets game.

While fans continue to howl at Nico Harrison, it appears that the general manager remains unfazed by the situation. Harrison was spotted at the American Airlines Center ahead of the Mavs' game against the Sacramento Kings on Monday. Fans on social media couldn't help but share their thoughts on his sighting. Here's what some of them said on X, formerly Twitter:

"No death threats today?"

"And all smiles, too, despite the alleged death threats."

Here are other reactions on X:

"He (they) really got away with the greatest heist in NBA history (collusion). Luka’s gone & we are stuck with a FO/Ownerships group whose reign of terror has only just begun," one pointed out.

"Why is he smiling? He should be walking around ashamed for the rest of his life," one said.

"And.... he's smiling.... looks happy ... too bad the rest of us can't be smiling and happy. Ty, Nico. I'm sorry, but I can't be happy that you're happy," another said.

"I can’t believe he still has a job," another said.
