Shaquille O’Neal prefers if Luka Doncic had ‘vulgar choice words’ for Mavs GM Nico Harrison

Luka Doncic and Shaquille O'Neal

The Los Angeles Lakers are hosting the Dallas Mavericks at Crypto.com Arena, with all eyes on Luka Doncic as he faces his former team for the first time. Notably, Shaquille O’Neal weighed in on Doncic’s choice of words toward Mavs GM Nico Harrison during the trade.

Doncic was acquired by Lakers in one of the most wild trade deals to ever go down in NBA history, sending former Laker, Anthony Davis, to the Mavs in the process. However, as per reports, Doncic was not informed by the Mavs GM about the trade. This did not go down well with O’Neal, as he lashed out at Harrison on the NBA on TNT show.

I would have gave him (Nico Harrison) some vulgar choice of words. To trade a man without his knowledge, when he thought he could be the Dirk Nowitzki of the team, that’s not really good business… I’m not talking to nobody in Dallas.

Shaquille O’Neal said

In addition to this, O’Neal predicted that Doncic would play a huge “revenge game” against his old squad in his preview of the match. The Slovenian great, according to the Diesel, is upset because he never anticipated being traded by the Mavs, particularly not a year after leading the team to the NBA Finals.

However, O’Neal made it clear that it would be a usual Doncic game rather than something different. The NBA legend expects Doncic to score at least 30 points in his ‘revenge matchup’ against his former side.

Luka Doncic ‘stares down’ Mavs bench after scoring massive 3-pointer

The Los Angeles Lakers are showing no signs of stopping ever since they signed Luka Doncic. Despite a few poor games from their newest star, he has adapted quickly. After single-handedly starring against the Denver Nuggets, Doncic is doing the same against his former side, the Dallas Mavericks. In particular, Doncic is seeking revenge.

During the 1st quarter, Doncic buried a massive three-pointer and quickly turned to the Mavs bench, giving them a stare as the Mavs called for a timeout.

At halftime, Doncic has played 18 minutes, scored 12 points, and has 12 rebounds to his name. He is proving a point to his former side, as the Lakers lead by 59-51.
