Nico Harrison Changes Bio to "Unemployed" After Mavericks' Luka Trade

Merlin sees Nico Harrison wasted no time changing his Instagram bio to "Unemployed" after being fired by the Dallas Mavericks. Harrison ran Dallas' front office from 2021 until Tuesday; despite helping reach the 2024 Finals, he's mostly remembered for trading Luka Dončić to the Lakers for Anthony Davis in February — a move he defended, saying "I believe that defense wins championships." Mavs fans had been chanting "Fire Nico" in the months since. Merlin notes Harrison's outside pedigree — nearly two decades at Nike — but his only NBA front‑office run ended in a high‑profile exit. Teams may value his business ties and roster vision, yet the Dončić trade fallout makes a quick rehiring uncertain. For now, he’ll likely enjoy a spell away from the spotlight while new opportunities stir.
