The Mavericks finally ripped off the bandage when owner Patrick Dumont decided to part ways with controversial general manager Nico Harrison nine months after he made the jaw-dropping trade that sent guard Luka Dončić to the Lakers.
Although Dallas found extreme luck in the NBA draft lottery to land the No. 1 pick and guard Cooper Flagg after the shocking deal, the team is off to a 3-9 start this season as “Fire Nico” chants continued to ring throughout American Airlines Center. Franchise legend Dirk Nowitzki even admitted his former team’s start was tough to watch as they continue to struggle without a primary ballhandler while guard Kyrie Irving recovers from a torn ACL.
