LA Lakers drop Luka Doncic clip just after Mavericks fire GM Nico Harrison

The LA Lakers were seen as the only beneficiary in what has been called as the biggest mistake of the team, as they got a new player in Luka Doncic after the Dallas Mavericks traded him for a package headlined by Anthony Davis last February.

An hour after the Mavericks fired their general manager Nico Harrison, who approved the Doncic deal with the Lakers, the Purple and Gold side posted one of Doncic's highlights in their latest victory against the Charlotte Hornets.

"THREW IT DOWN 💥," the Lakers' official social media pages wrote to caption Doncic's dunk against the Hornets.

Against the Hornets, Doncic amassed 38 points, six rebounds, and seven assists to lead the Lakers to a 121-111 win.

Luka Doncic's great season so far for LA Lakers

Doncic has been dropping amazing performances in the league so far. He is averaging 37.1 points, 9.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game on 49% shooting from the field. He is on the way for a potential MVP season, while the Mavs have become one of the worst sides in the league.

Anthony Davis is frequently in and out of games because of injuries, while his team stands on the 13th position in the standings with a 3-8 record.

Dallas Mavericks appoint interim leaders for basketball operations

Soon after announcing the news on Nico Harrison's firing, Shams Charania disclosed the people shortlisted to take his place. The Mavs have appointed Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi to oversee the basketball operations in the meantime.

"The Mavericks and Patrick Dumont have 10:30 am central time meetings to appoint executives Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi to lead basketball operations in interim, sources tell me and Tim MacMahon," Charania wrote.

Finley is a former Mavericks player who currently holds the position of Vice President of player personnel in Dallas. Matt Riccardi served as an assistant manager of the team under Harrison.
