Supporters were astonished to observe Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka present at the matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks. On Sunday, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks, 126-102, in San Francisco, California. Nevertheless, the game included an unanticipated appearance by Pelinka. The executive was captured in a photo engaging with Nico Harrison, the general manager of Dallas.
The two executives have shared a headline previously. Prior to the NBA trade deadline, Harrison allegedly approached Pelinka and proposed Luka Doncic to the Lakers. A transaction that the Los Angeles front office quickly agreed to as they dealt away standout player Anthony Davis.
The agreement between the pair sent ripples throughout the league. It also angered a whole fanbase, the Mavs, in particular.
Weeks after the trade, fans observed Pelinka and Harrison engaging with one another at the Mavs’ regular season game. The executives were captured in photos and shared on the social media site X (previously Twitter).
Fans swiftly responded on social media and discussed the connection between Pelinka and Harrison.
