The Dallas Mavericks are in turmoil. And at the center of it all stands Nico Harrison. His decisions have not just shaken the roster—they’ve shattered fan loyalty. For many, the legacy built over 25 years feels like a distant memory, fading under the weight of poor management. Worse, the controversy goes beyond the Luka Doncic trade. Take last summer, for example. Harrison handed Klay Thompson a $50 million deal. But for what?
A spark of hope or a desperate gamble? Under Doncic and Kyrie Irving’s mettle, the Mavs had become the 2023-24 Season runners-up. But Nico Harrison was too ambitious to land Thompson for the team. His logic was simple, the Warriors veteran would be the perfect addition to the team. But, 54 games later, the stats tell a different story. With an average of 13.8 pts, 3.5 rebs, and 2.0 last, the Captain is far from his spark.
Thus, the Mavericks super fan page MFFL Nation tweeted: “Wouldn’t be shocked if Klay requests a trade or even if Nico moves him this offseason… Love the guy, but doubt this is what he thought his time would look like in Dallas.” Even Thompson was hungry to prove his muffled points to Steve Kerr and Co. when he left the Bay on a bitter note. Recovering from two seasons of injury and missing out on rotations made him leave the Dubs and Steph.

What was the ultimate result? Nothing but disappointment. And well, can you truly blame the fans for holding a grudge against Nico Harrison? Surely not. The GM has become a major thorn for the Mavs Nation. And it’s safe to say, Dallas isn’t happy with him as demands of expulsion continue to roar around. And yes, the damage is done, and the cracks are impossible to ignore.
This is a developing story…
