Nico Harrison dismissed as Mavericks GM

Patrick Dumont, the Dallas Mavericks’ governor, faces backlash for trusting former lead executive Nico Harrison, who traded star Luka Doncic to the Lakers, resulting in a disastrous 3-8 start to the season. Doncic is thriving with Los Angeles, while Dallas struggles with an overweight and injured Anthony Davis, further exacerbated by Kyrie Irving’s ACL injury. The team’s future looks bleak, as they lack control over multiple first-round draft picks and must rebuild around young talent Cooper Flagg. Harrison’s flawed vision for a defensive team led to the trade’s failure, and his dismissal leaves the Mavericks in turmoil.
