The long-demanded Nico Harrison exodus has finally happened and the NBA world is making the most of it.
After the general manager was fired by the Dallas Mavericks, social media was flooded with reactions from fans and analysts.
One post featured a fake report that had some people even more enraged at Harrison than when he traded Luka Doncic last year.
Fake Nico Harrison post goes viral
"NBACentel" a popular account on the social media platform 'X' struck again with a fake report that before Harrison was fired, he was trying to trade Cooper Flagg.
Trading the No. 1 overall pick just a few games into his first season would be even more unprecedented than trading Doncic was.
Nico Harrison reportedly attempted to trade Cooper Flagg shortly before his dismissal from the Mavericks. 😳

It was a report that justifiably frustrated fans who believed it to be true.
Most followers of NBACentel understood the post was from a parody account and it led to some funny reactions.

For the fans unfamiliar with the account, no this report is far from the truth. There is no evidence or historical precedent for Harrison trading Flagg.
Still, if something as outrageous as the Luka Doncic trade could happen anything is on the table.
