Do you want to talk about the delay in the ex that left you? Luka Dončić got into Dallas on Wednesday and hung 45 points in the Mavericks in a performance that had to have the general manager Nico Harrison, and any other person who had something to do with possibly the dester exchange in the history of sport, die absolutely inside and asking, “What did we do?”
Just a brief reminder: you exchanged one of the most talented basketball players who have ever inhabited this planet hit in the middle of its best. You ripped the soul of an entire fans base. It is likely to cost you hundreds of millions in the rest of Dončić’s career, which should have been an unexpected two decades for the organization and the city.
Patrick Dumont and Harrison, these guys can try to turn this, however, they want all the time they want. But unless they are completely separated from reality, which I suppose is a possibility, they have to know how bad they were wrong.
The best moments of Dallas Return de Luka Dončić: The Star Lakers is filled during the tribute, then obtains 45 in the old team

But to deal with his decision internally and live every day with what has to be a growing rock of repentance in the well of his stomach, and to push it on the face as if it were Wednesday night, since Dončić and the Lakers crossed a 15 -point victory, they are two very different types of pain. Wednesday night was a form of torture. In a sand full of “Fire Nico” energy, Harrison, although he would never admit so much, had to wait at least one ped following of Dončić, if not something that leans more towards a stinky.
That was never going to happen. If you thought about a second that Luka was going to put an egg in this game, you are as delirious as the people who exchanged it. Dončić is as feasible for a great stage as it exists in the world of basketball. Contextually, many descriptions can be applied to the 31 points where he poured during his 18 minutes in the first medium, but surprising is not one of them.
Outside the organization of Dallas, it would be difficult to find anyone who was not supporting Dončić to continue accumulating his points. Fifty, sixty, even seventy felt possible with the way I had it rolling early. It did not develop that way, but after a third relatively quiet quarter six points, Dončić put things in bed with seven closing points in a section two minutes before leaving an exciting ovation.
It was like that all night. He felt like a road game for Dallas when fans cheered every shot of Dončić. In the end it was clear: this is Luka’s house.
Meanwhile, that “Fire Nico” choir? It literally exploded immediately after the opening tip. These people had the poor Nico peeking from the rear tunnel like the politburo when the “rocky” songs exploded in Russia.

That image says a thousand words. That is a man who regrets regret, regardless of what he says for the cameras. On Wednesday night it was salt on an alleged wound. Once again, regretting his decision to throw his ex in the Hall of Fame is brutal enough from afar, but when he or she returns home as a million dollars, that is complete collapse material.
I hate saying it, but it serves Harrison and everyone else who had to say in this correct treatment. They deserved to have to do with Dončić do what he did on Wednesday night at home. And it is better that they get used to it, because the Lakers are sure that they are not going to give Dončić as Dallas did.
On the contrary, Dončić will perform in Dallas for two games every season in the coming years, and you can bet that he will come to each of them with the same hammer he had on Wednesday night.
This will be a recurring Nico nightmare, and a relentless reminder that they are often those that aim to make fun of the room that end up wearing the most silly.
