It’s not often that a team’s fanbase turns hostile toward its own management. But that’s exactly what happened in Dallas when Nico Harrison traded Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis. Obviously, losing a generational talent like Luka enraged the Mavs fanbase, even leading to security concerns for the GM. As per veteran insider Tim MacMahon, “Nico Harrison has been subjected to death threats. There have been racial epithets included in some of those.” But while tensions continue to rise in Dallas, the man on the other side of this trade, JJ Redick, is surprisingly unbothered by the situation because of a recent personal tragedy.
When asked about the current hostile atmosphere in Dallas ahead of AD and Max Christie’s debut tonight, JJ bluntly responded, “I’m living in a hotel right now man. I could care less what other teams are doing.” Yes, the head coach is still dealing with the aftermath of losing his home in the LA Wildfires. Since the incident, JJ along with his family has found temporary shelter in a hotel, as he continues to focus on his day job. So, keeping up with the situation in Dallas is not on his priority list.
Just like Redick, rest of Los Angeles is also coping with last month’s tragedy, as it caused over 200,000 residents to evacuate their homes at one point. Moreover, the wildfires claimed at least 29 lives and caused over $250 Billion damage to the city, making it one of costliest fires in US history.
