Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison admitted that he miscalculated the popularity of Luka Dončić among the team’s fanbase before the shocking trade with the Los Angeles Lakers in February.

In their final season together in 2022-23, Claxton averaged 12.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and a career-high 2.5 blocks per game. He also shot a career-best 70.5% from the field, feasting on lobs from the Nets’ former stars.

During a TNT segment on Monday night, Barkley pleaded with Harrison to stop talking with the media about arguably the most controversial NBA trade of all time, particularly while it's still so fresh in people's minds. "Don't go on T.V.," Barkley advised Harrison during the segment. "Lay low. Just lay low."
