Tuesday on 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, and Jonas Knox talk about Nico Harrison's press conference where he admitted not knowing how connected the fans where to Luka Doncic before trading him away to the Lakers.
Brady Quinn: "Often times, people who are in those general manager positions or even a leadership position, they're out of touch with the rest of us. Like, they're not capable of being social or having sympathy, empathy, having that EQ to be able to relate to people.
So in this instance, yeah it's awful that Nico was like, 'Yeah, I was unaware...' Well dude, how could you be unaware of that? At what point were you unaware of the fact that Luka is one of the best players in the NBA. He's obviously an international player which even comes with more fanfare and just kind of people thinking he's cool. It's not just like a normal, you know, United States white guy. He's an international white guy. He's exotic. Don't act like that's not a real thing!...
But the truth is, sometimes you get those leaders in those positions that do not know how to relate to the fan base. They don't understand how it's going to be received."
