Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison says he miscalculated the depth of love his club’s fans had for Luka Doncic before the trade that sent the young superstar to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis.

In his first two playoff games with the Los Angeles Lakers, Luka Dončić has averaged 34 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. The 26-year-old was an assist shy of a triple-double in the Lakers’ Game 2 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The chants started shortly after Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison stunningly dealt Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in early February and have continued up until the end of the 2024-25 season, with the Mavs getting eliminated from postseason contention last week.
