Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison is widely expected to be fired, less than a year after trading Luka Dončić, a move that has sparked intense fan anger and chants of 'Fire Nico' at home games. The franchise’s struggles include a poor 3-8 start this season, fan protests, and internal disagreements over player health decisions, notably regarding Anthony Davis. Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont has taken a more active role in team decisions, indicating eroding trust in Harrison. The team’s future leadership options include internal candidates like Michael Finley, Matt Riccardi, and former executives such as Masai Ujiri and Bob Myers, with some suggesting that owner Mark Cuban could potentially step into a more direct role. Despite the chaos, the presence of promising young player Cooper Flagg offers hope for the franchise’s future, but the current environment underscores significant instability and the need for decisive leadership to rebuild trust and competitiveness.
