During a TNT segment on Monday night, Barkley pleaded with Harrison to stop talking with the media about arguably the most controversial NBA trade of all time, particularly while it's still so fresh in people's minds. "Don't go on T.V.," Barkley advised Harrison during the segment. "Lay low. Just lay low."

Harrison told reporters Monday the Mavs want defense to be "our calling card," so the franchise "jumped" at the chance to acquire Anthony Davis from the Los Angeles Lakers. Harrison is nothing if not consistent.

Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison has publicly justified the trade by repeatedly saying "defense wins championships" as the reason they sent out Doncic to acquire Anthony Davis Harrison also said last week that he has "no regrets" over trading Doncic.
