Listen "🏀 Fire Nico: The Fallout from the Mavericks’ Boldest Trade Ever"
Episode Synopsis
Norm Hitzges is just wondering if the Mavericks fan base can finally start to heal now that GM Nico Harrison is gone. From trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers to the injuries that derailed the dream, Norm dives into how one decision turned Dallas upside down. He revisits the highs of Nico’s tenure—the Finals run, savvy trades, and gutsy calls—and the crash that followed. Now, with Luka thriving in Los Angeles and Dallas reeling, Norm asks: was Nico truly the villain… or just the fall guy? Chapters:00:00:01 – The Nico Era Ends00:01:21 – “Fire Nico” and the Fallout00:02:10 – The Doncic Trade Backlash00:03:49 – Injuries, Frustrations, and Fan Fury00:05:15 – Remembering Nico’s Wins00:07:30 – The Trade That Broke Dallas00:08:24 – Where Do the Mavs Go From Here?00:09:17 – Sponsors: Bob’s Steak & Chop House, Full Moon Healing Balm00:11:49 – Closing Thoughts: Just Wondering  Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW
