Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison has continued to find ways to frustrate fans after trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. On Tuesday, Harrison held a bizarre post-Luka Doncic trade press conference that only included selected media members. Additionally, no video was allowed.

The press conference was another chapter of what has been an unfortunate saga, but Harrison found a way to make matters even worse (and even upset Mark Cuban) during the press conference.

Harrison made it seem as if he does not value Dirk Nowitzki's thoughts on the Doncic trade. It almost seemed as if the Mavs GM did not truly care what Nowitzki thought about the trade.

“My obligation is to the Dallas Mavericks, it's what's the best interest of the Dallas Mavericks, and that's the most important thing,” Harrison said on Tuesday, via Tim Cato. “Some of those decisions are going to be unpopular maybe to Dirk and maybe to the fans, but my obligation is to the Dallas Mavericks.”

Mark Cuban seemingly fired back at Harrison's surprising comments.

“Dirk is the Dallas Mavericks. Then, now and forever,” Cuban wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “No one should ever forget that. That statue will be here forever. Loyalty never fades away.”
