Mavericks GM Nico Harrison Breaks Silence: Addresses Fan Concerns Over Luka Doncic Trade Rumors
In a heartfelt and candid moment, Dallas Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison addressed the growing concerns from the fanbase following swirling rumors and criticism regarding Luka Dončić and potential trade talks.
Speaking to local media and fans during a press conference at the American Airlines Center, Harrison made it clear: the organization remains committed to transparency and building a championship-caliber team around its superstar.
“Luka is the cornerstone of our franchise,” Harrison stated. “I understand the emotions fans are feeling. They love Luka — we all do. He’s a generational talent, and we are not taking that for granted. There’s no plan in motion to trade him. Period.”
Rumors had ignited across social media and sports talk shows after a series of speculative reports suggested that internal tensions could lead to trade scenarios. Fans, protective of their Slovenian star, responded with frustration and concern, prompting #KeepLuka trending nationwide.
Harrison, known for his measured and strategic approach, acknowledged the fans’ passion while urging patience.
“We hear you,” he said. “We’re not immune to criticism. But I promise you this: everything we do is to win — with Luka leading the way. We’re not blowing things up. We’re building smarter, stronger, and together.”
Dončić, who has remained publicly quiet on the trade chatter, was seen at practice earlier that day in good spirits, working closely with teammates.
The Mavericks front office also teased that big off-season moves are being explored to support Dončić with a stronger supporting cast. Harrison closed the conference with a message directly to the fans:
“We value your loyalty. Keep believing — because we are.”
