MAVERICKS GM obtaining a safety impulse for the first game at home since Luka Dončić merchants after death threats: report
Doncic led the NBA in annotations last season and helped the Mavericks reach an appearance in the NBA finals, but was treated with the Los Angeles Lakers in one of the most controversial trades in recent memory.
Since then, fans have expressed their disdain for Harrison, the intellectual author behind the trade, which led the organization to increase their safety before Saturday’s game during the weekend.
The Lakers acquired Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris, while the Mavericks obtained the first round of 2029 from Anthony Davis, Max Christie and Los Angeles. To complete the agreement, the Utah Jazz acquired Jalen Hood-Schifino and two second round selections.
