The situation in Dallas has caught everyone’s attention. Following his shocking decision to trade Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis, Nico Harrison has been under constant fire from angry fans for letting go of a generational superstar. “Fire Nico” chants echo in the city along with protests against the GM and team ownership. While the emotional outburst is understandable, things went too far when Harrison began receiving death threats, leading to major safety concerns. And the massive unrest has brought back some haunting memories for Steve Kerr.
Long before he became the Warriors head coach, Kerr was the GM of the Suns. And he too made a trade of similar magnitude during his tenure as he let go of Shawn Marion for four-time champion Shaquille O’Neal. Turns out, Kerr also received death threats from fuming Phoenix fans. Resonating with what Nico is going through, the head coach said during tonight’s presser, “You know generally I never really like to comment on other team’s trades… But I have been following the stuff with the fans, death threats for Nico. It’s brutal. It’s really sad and you kind of feel for everybody because this is a very emotional business and it’s what drives the business you know.”
While Kerr understands why the fans are so outraged after losing Doncic, he is devastated by the treatment Harrison is receiving, “Just seeing Nico go through the stuff he shouldn’t have to go through. It’s all really kind of surreal to be honest with you.”
