Harrison s dismissal is not unfair at all! Doncic averaged 37+9+9 per game, and the Lakers ranked fourth in the Western Conference with 8 wins and 3 losses.

Before the trade deadline last season, a blockbuster deal shocked everyone. The Mavericks traded Doncic to the Lakers in exchange for Big Eyebrow and Christie. Now nine months have passed, and Harrison, the Mavericks general manager who led the deal at the time, has finally resigned.

In fact, after completing the deal, Harrison faced public pressure to dismiss get out of class, but his general manager position is very stable, even though the Mavericks did not even make the playoffs last season. After winning the No. 1 pick and selecting Flagg, Harrison's status became more stable, because he was equivalent to trading Doncic for Big Eyebrow and Flagg. Coupled with Irving, the Mavericks also formed a combination of three No. 1 picks, and the lineup is very luxurious.

However, what is unexpected is that the Mavericks started the season very poorly. They currently have only 3 wins and 8 losses, ranking second from the bottom in the Western Conference, and their record is only better than the Pelicans. Moreover, Nongmei was injured again after only playing 5 games and is currently recovering from his injury. Irving has not returned yet, his thick eyebrow is injured again, and Thompson's condition is also quite sluggish. With only rookie No. 1 pick Flagg leading the team, the Mavericks' record is naturally not much better.

At the same time, the Lakers' performance so far this season has been very impressive. Even when James missed a single game due to injury, they still achieved a record of 8 wins and 3 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference. Not only that, Doncic's personal performance is also quite explosive. Although he only played in 7 games, he averaged 37.7 points, 9.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game.

In this comparison, the Lone Ranger is obviously even worse. If they had not traded Doncic, they might be fourth in the Western Conference now, and Irving might not have suffered a serious knee injury due to continuous high-load operation. Therefore, as the "culprit" for trading Doncic away, it is not surprising that Harrison was dismissed from get out of class. Many people also believed that Harrison should have been dismissed from get out of class long ago.

In fact, the reason Harrison was dismissed was not because of the trade of Doncic, otherwise he might have been dismissed long ago. Although Harrison faced a lot of pressure in trading Doncic, he received the support of the Mavericks owner, which was also his greatest confidence. If the Mavericks had a better start to the season and weren't as bad as they are now, Harrison probably wouldn't lose his job. But unfortunately, because the thick eyebrow was injured again, the Mavericks' record was in a mess, Harrison could only be used as a scapegoat, and he was indeed not unjust.
