Description

🎧 In this On The Ball episode, Ric Bucher breaks down the full story behind the Dallas Mavericks’ shocking trade of Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers — and the firing of GM Nico Harrison that followed.

Bucher exposes the real dynamics inside the Mavericks front office, from owner Patrick Dumont’s reactionary leadership to how Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi ended up sharing power after Harrison’s exit. He also reveals why Luka’s conditioning, Anthony Davis’ injuries, and Kyrie Irving’s return could still reshape how this blockbuster trade is judged.
