, Max Christie, and a 1st round pick. General manager Nico Harrison stated that the trade with Dončić related to them wanting to improve the team's defense, though it was leaked out that long-term payment and weight concerns that he had with the team at the time, with Dončić being considered eligible for the super-max contract at the time and it being reported that he was reaching 270 pounds before the trade occurred. Regardless of the reasoning, Mavericks fans immediately disapproved of the trade and had long-term demands of the team firing Harrison as general manager for the sudden surprising move. The move was considered by many outlets to be the most shocking move of all time in sports history, along with tags of being one of the worst moves. Davis later suffered an adductor injury in his debut for the Mavericks on February 8, causing him to miss extended time. Kyrie Irving also suffered a season-ending torn ACL on March 3, while several other Mavericks players were sidelined with injuries. By March 15, only eight players were considered healthy enough to play, which was the bare minimum amount of players an NBA team is required to have active for games. Just 2 days after the Doncic trade, the Mavs sent Quentin Grimes to the

The hate was so intense fans began chanting hateful comments towards the staff and the team had to hire extra security to escort fans out of the home arena, with Harrison’s personal information also getting leaked online.
