Despite months of "Fire Nico" chants from Dallas Mavericks fans, it appears that the embattled general manager will be keeping his job. However, he won't have the level of unilateral control he had previously.

Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison says he had underestimated the level of outrage fans would feel before trading superstar Luka Doncic to the Lakers.

That quote spread like wildfire throughout NBA circles, with Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, and many other personalities pointing out how absurd of a statement that is considering Doncic has his own day in the city of Dallas (July 6th). The latest to chime in is ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, who had a lot to say on First Take on Tuesday morning.
