The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks are looking at staging a preseason game in Las Vegas, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. Assuming they both played, this would pit the Lakers' Luka Dončić and Mavericks' Anthony Davis against their old teams.

Given that connection, Penny is one person who can vouch for Nico's competence and character as an executive. However, despite that, the current Memphis Tigers men's basketball head coach still thinks that Harrison's decision to trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers was a gutsy move.

Los Angeles Lakers GM Rob Pelinka and Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison met in secret to continue the ongoing negotiations on a trade involving Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis. When the deal was finalized, everybody was in for a shock as the entire NBA hierarchy changed overnight.
