The Mavericks are working to pick up the pieces left behind by Nico Harrison’s controversial tenure as general manager following his firing last week. As the team assesses its next steps, new reports have emerged detailing some of the friction that was impacting the organization’s front office over the last few years, particularly between Harrison and Mark Cuban.
Cuban has publicly hinted that Harrison played a role in his departure from the organization after Cuban sold the team to the Dumont family in 2023. Cuban had initially expected to remain on and head up the team’s basketball operations, but that never came to fruition. That’s largely due to Harrison, who convinced the Dumont’s that Cuban’s involvement was more meddlesome than beneficial.
