NBA veteran Draymond Green sends a message to Mavericks GM Nico Harrison

Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison has made several controversial decisions. These moves have even caught the attention of players across the league. Although the situation seemed to have settled, Harrison’s latest comments brought the issue back to the spotlight. As a result, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green stepped in. He shared his thoughts on Harrison and offered him some direct advice.

“My advice about four weeks ago was he should have made it his last time talking about Luka. …He’s kinda keep saying things and he’s just keeping the story running. You gotta let the story die. You can’t right it. Nothing he’s gonna say is gonna right the ship. He’s gotta silence it and move on,” stated Draymond Green on his podcast.

Luka Doncic has made a clear decision. He stepped away from the Dallas Mavericks and is fully focused on the Los Angeles Lakers. He no longer speaks about the Mavericks or Nico Harrison. His goal is to begin this new chapter with complete dedication and efficiency.

This contrasts sharply with Nico Harrison’s behavior. The Mavericks executive has spoken about Doncic’s departure multiple times. These repeated statements may be damaging his public image instead of helping it.

General Manager Nico Harrison of the Dallas Mavericks looks on against the Los Angeles Lakers during the fourth quarter at American Airlines Center on April 09, 2025 in Dallas, Texas.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks must turn the page quickly. They have a solid roster heading into next NBA season. Injuries to key players hurt their performance this year. However, their experience and improved defense could be game-changers. The team must now focus on growth and stability. They need to build around the current core and leave the Luka Doncic era behind.

Mavericks GM Nico Harrison praises Anthony Davis for his elite defensive impact on the court

Anthony Davis‘ arrival has not thrilled all fans. Many believe the move would have been better received if Luka Doncic had not been part of the trade. Even so, Davis adds stability to any roster he joins. He brings experience, presence, and a strong defensive impact. Despite his injury and difficult first season, Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison still praised him. His words showed the team’s confidence in Davis moving forward.

“I think the biggest thing is if you don’t value AD as an All-NBA player and All-Defensive player, then you’re not going to like the trade,“ affirmed Nico Harrison on The Dallas Morning News. Nico believes defense wins championships and adding a great talent like Anthony helps fix the issues Dallas faced in the last NBA Finals.

However, the team still needs to find consistency. The preseason and offseason give them time to build chemistry. Fans hope the roster will deliver this time. Above all, they expect the defense to be solid, just as Nico promised.
