Mavs Firing GM
… 9 Months After Luka Trade
Published
Nico Harrison‘s minutes are numbered in Dallas — the Mavericks are expected to part ways with the general manager who shipped franchise player Luka Doncic to Los Angeles earlier this year on Tuesday.
The report came from Shams Charania just minutes ago … who stated the team intends to cut the ties with the former Nike exec at 8 AM PST.
The Mavs are 3-8 so far this season … but the move was pretty much expected way back in February, when Harrison — who became the GM in 2021 — made the head-scratching decision to trade the Slovenian superstar for Anthony Davis.
The backlash over the transaction never settled … and even Monday night, “Fire Nico” chants rang out as the Mavs fell to the Milwaukee Bucks at home.

The future could be bright in the Lone Star State — 2025 No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg had his best outing of his rookie season with 26 points in the loss … which could be a confidence boost after a slow start out the gates.
The roster has some talent — AD, Kyrie Irving and PJ Washington are the top players … but with no Luka, folks have been pretty disconnected.
We take it fans will be on board with this move.
