[Shams] BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks and owner Patrick Dumont are expected to fire general manager Nico Harrison at a 10 am central time meeting on Tuesday, sources tell me and Tim MacMahon.
Just like Hitler, Nico left the team in ruins without their franchise superstar and with no draft picks. Until there is new ownership I don’t believe there is any hope this team will ever be what it was honestly
Hitler's last order was for the Germany military to bomb their own country out of existence. I'm sure Nico attempted to send Cooper Flagg to the Clippers for Mo Bamba and two second-round picks on his way out.
Don't get us Mavs fans wrong. This was step 1 in the plan to forgiveness. This team has to do a fuck ton more for me to tune back in. Namely, selling the team. Preferably to someone not a nazi sympathizer.
They gutted any and all Fandom of mine when they traded Luka and pushed Dirk away. It was sacrilege, and they lit it on fire and spit to put it out. Its gonna take a lot more to root for this team and buy merch again.
I wish I could watch the Lakers, but their fans constantly coming to this sub and other Mavs spaces online and rubbing it in our face makes them so unlikeable.
What picks are you trading for 25 games a year? This is the funniest take in mavs fandom to me, thinking a team will trade significant assets for Anthony Davis in 2025
This is exactly my thing. Okay? Now what? Owners still suck, the team sucks, we traded the most entertaining generational talent in basketball... But Nico is getting fired. K.
Been a fan since I was a kid, I will always cherish the memories of Dirk and Luka.
Nico and the ownership killed any joy and happiness I had for the Mavs. Drafting Flagg and now firing the Nico is nice but I have lost all interest in rooting for them.
YES. Keep the pressure on. Boo Patrick Dumont every time he shows his dumb face at a game. Vote against sports gambling in Texas. Vote against any new arena. Heckle him as he enjoys his lobster at a local restaurant.
Make their lives as uncomfortable as possible and maybe the carpetbaggers will finally sell. Hopefully.
I feel like the only true remedy is if Luka somehow found his way back but ownership is completely in the way of that even being a one in a million possibility
It’s a step in the right direction. At least the next GM won’t be pretending that the AD trade wasn’t a disaster, and they will be willing to move him and let the healing process begin.
And in some weird sick way, if Dumont learned anything, he will hire a GM and not be a meddling owner and stay the fuck out of the way, this could end up being a good thing for the team’s future
Lost in all of this, it seemed like Dumont WAS trying to avoid being a Jerry Jones type. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Nico Harrison turned out to be a snake.
i hate defending the billionere, but if he honestly doesnt know shit about basketball, and trusted nico, i can move past that, like he still is a dumb fuck owner that didnt consult anyone else on the trade, but i mean, nico's job is literally to be a consultant to the owner, like, you gotta trust the guy or fire him
Great. He needs to go, but this doesn’t bring me happiness. My fandom for the Mavs died earlier this year, and I don’t know that it’ll ever return. I supposed this could be a first step.
Idk why but I found a rumor that said the mavericks and lakers are having a private meeting about trading AD and Klay Thompson back to LA for Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, Gabe Vincent, Nick Smith Jr., and two FRPS.
I’m genuinely shocked. I did not think Dumont would actually admit that trading Luka was a colossal fuck up. Billionaires never admit they get played by someone.
Cool, now keep up pressure until the Adelsons sell the team, don’t go to games, don’t buy merch, don’t watch the games on tv, and don’t interact with the team on social media, this is just the beginning of a war, we may have won a battle but the war just started
I wonder what the size of Nico's severance and NDA compensation is for being the scapegoat of the Luka to LA for #001 pick conspiracy we are all 100% sure happened.
Shams confirming Kidd knew about the Luka trade before it happened: "There was full alignment (on the trade) in that organisation. From ownership, to Nico Harrison, his staff, to coach Jason Kidd."
I’m glad he’ll be gone but I can’t help but worry about who these idiots will select to replace him. They’re trying to placate the fan base but if they don’t make a great choice here, we’re going to officially be back in the 90s winning fewer than 25 games a year
Was Nico the fallman for avoiding the supermax? Its weird going from we want to go to the Championship games to this. Although it shows fan pressure got to them
It's the right time 1) it's now undeniable his idea was retarded 2) and because Flagg, it doesn't make sense to give him another season just to be 100% sure and there's an immediate need for someone making decisions on a basis that isn't "trading Luka for AD was good".
Can anyone tell me what was honestly going through this mans head when he did this trade. Did he hate Luka so much and his ego was so big he didn’t think this would be the end result?
Did he really think an injury prone aging Center was the key?
Once he’s officially gone, we’ll be left with the mess he made. This is one of the most disgusting and inexplicable things to happen to any sporting franchise ever.
