Part 2/6:
Nico Harrison, the Mavericks' General Manager, faced intense scrutiny during a news conference that was supposed to celebrate Davis' arrival. Rather than solely focusing on the new acquisition, Harrison found himself defending the decision to trade away Dončić, a player who had become synonymous with the team's identity and success. When questioned about the fans' reactions, Davis acknowledged the city's attachment to Dončić, reflecting on his own journey and the expectations that follow him to Dallas. He emphasized his role to restore hope for Mavericks fans and reassured them of his commitment to excellence on the court.
