Revealing the inside story of the Mavericks turmoil: Harrison s relationship with his boss breaks down and will be fired, and his thick eyebrows may be traded

On November 11, ESPN reporter Tim MacMahon reported that the relationship between Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison and his boss has completely broken down, and it is only a matter of time before he is fired. After firing Harrison, the team may trade Big Eyebrow and build the team around Flagg.

Revealing more details about the internal turmoil of the Mavericks, Tim MacMahon revealed that Nico Harrison is very likely to be fired in the middle of the season. He said: The trust between Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont and general manager Nico Harrison has completely broken down. Nico Harrison's dismissal is only a matter of time, not whether he will be fired.

It is reported that Dumont has directly intervened in team affairs, including the recovery process of Anthony Davis's calf strain. He originally hoped to return last weekend, but there are differences within the team on his return date. Previously, Dumont was in a state of unconditional trust in general manager Nico Harrison, but now he has begun to question whether a star can complete his comeback.

MacMahon also said Nico Harrison would "never" be traded for Anthony Davis, but that Harrison could be fired so the team can trade Davis and rebuild around Flagg, who is now without first-round picks in 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030.

Before the trade deadline last season, Harrison sent Doncic, Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, the Lakers' first-round pick in 2029, and Max Christie. This deal was secretly reached by Harrison and Pelinka. The big deal in which Doncic swapped teams with Big Eyebrow caused huge heated discussion. Many Mavericks fans are still dissatisfied with Harrison's operation.

Famous journalist Marc Stein reported that Harrison had been sitting in the stands watching home games early this season, but a portable staircase was pushed into the player tunnel every game so that he could leave the field at any time without passing through the spectator area. This seating configuration is used for hockey games at American Airlines Center and is now used by the Mavericks this season.

League sources revealed that the fundamental reason why Harrison was able to spend the offseason and continue to receive the support of the boss in the new season is that the boss Dumont was the one who finally approved the Doncic trade, so he believed that he must share the consequences with the general manager. The owner's position to this day is that he was the other decision-maker besides Harrison who actually brokered the deal.

But after the start of the new season, the team's consecutive losses and the gloomy atmosphere of home games, the morale of the entire organization has now hit rock bottom. League sources revealed that given that the Mavericks are currently in huge trouble even making the playoffs, the escalating and almost endless negativity surrounding the team is indeed making the team ownership feel stressed and troubled.

Although team owner Dumont seems inclined to give Harrison more time, it has become unavoidable for the team's highest decision-making level to consider whether to make personnel changes during the season is the wisest move.

In the first 10 games, the Mavericks only had a record of 3 wins and 7 losses, ranking second to last in the Western Conference.
