Other fans came after Harrison for his role in the Luka Doncic trade:

"The fire Nico chants were electric at that game," a fan tweeted.

"Fire Nico. Start over. Send him back to Nike the woke company!!!," a fan added.

"Cooper Flagg in the eyes of Nico Harrison," a fan mentioned.

One fan gave a wild speculation about the league making decisions to help the Lakers, using Harrison as a scapegoat.

"No way yall still think Nico was calling the shots. Luka AD trade is a clear move made by Adam Silver to save the Lakers franchise when LeBron retires. Nico is the scapegoat," a fan tweeted.

Flagg, an 18-year-old 6-foot-9 forward, averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game last season. His performance earned him the National Player of the Year Award as a freshman.

Cooper Flagg expected to be drafted by Mavericks, league sources say

The Dallas Mavericks, according to sources, plan to use their No. 1 pick to select Duke forward Cooper Flagg instead of trading the pick.

The Mavericks' unlikely lottery win came after a tumultuous season that included a first-round playoff exit. Despite the controversy surrounding the Doncic trade, team governor Patrick Dumont viewed the opportunity to draft Flagg as a "gift," sources told ESPN.

The 2025 NBA draft will take place on June 25-26, 2025, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. ESPN will broadcast both nights, starting at 8 p.m. ET, with the first round also airing on ABC.
