Rob Pelinka and Nico Harrison have been friends for many years. They were introduced to each other thanks to the late Kobe Bryant<\/a>. Their friendship was instrumental in making probably the biggest and most shocking NBA trade<\/a> in history. And now, during Luka Doncic<\/a>\u2019s introductory conference, one might say that Pelinka sent a curve ball to Harrison.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Luka\u2019s introductory press conference, Rob Pelinka couldn\u2019t control himself and not smile when mentioning Nico Harrison. He thanked him, but we can also look at it like he still couldn\u2019t believe that Harrison would go through with the trade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second person I want to thank is anytime there\u2019s a trade or a transaction, there has to be a partner,” Pelinka said. “I want to thank the Dallas Mavericks led by their GM Nico Harrison who was also very instrumental in bringing this opportunity to us and then staying true to the negotiations throughout where it could be culminated with the trade being finalized.\u201d<\/p>\n
