Sports media reacts to Mavericks getting No. 1 pick: ‘Maddening to reward such ineptitude’

"Reverse karma? Irony? Not sure what's happening."

"This was not the worst trade in the history of basketball. Unless you want to flip it around and say it was a bad trade for the Lakers"

Harrison can barely explain his vision for the Mavericks as is.

"It's very important that guys make an effort to be social."

"This war is over brotha. You takin' the L."

"I knew Luka was important to the fan base. I didn’t quite know it to what level."

With the Dallas Mavericks season coming to an end and Anthony Davis injured, ESPN cut to Nico Harrison looking upon his creation.

"I never said anything bad about him. And I just want to move on."

"You build a Finals team and you traded the guy who led that Finals team?"

"I didn't feel it was that transparent."

Embattled Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison won't make any new fans by meeting with the media behind closed doors.

That’s what happens when you trade away a city’s most universally beloved athlete.

To be fair, it is a pretty impressive edit.

"Now, he is going to welcome this opportunity to prove to a lot of people, particularly in Dallas, what he's capable of."

"It’s actually so sad to see the Mavericks organization crumble."

"The Mavs won the trade for the next three or four years. But the Lakers got a bright future if they put the right pieces around Luka."

"The future 10 years from now, they'll probably bury me and J-[Kidd] by then. Or we'll bury ourselves..."

"Dallas did not put the effort in to create as much equity as it could from the sort of talent that turns into statues, career-ending move."
