The Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday announced they had parted ways with much-maligned general manager Nico Harrison not even a year after he orchestrated one of the most stunning trades in league history, dealing away franchise superstar Luka Dončić, enraging the team‘s fanbase in the process. Now, in the midst of a 3-8 start for the injury-riddled Mavericks, the team‘s brass has opted to go in a different direction in the front office, ending Harrison‘s tenure.
Many Mavericks fans—and perhaps NBA fans at large—will applaud Dallas‘s decision. But not everyone believes Harrison is to blame for what currently ails the Mavericks.
