The Dallas Mavericks have stumbled badly out of the gate this season, raising serious concerns about the team’s roster construction and the future of general manager Nico Harrison.
The disappointing start has fueled speculation across the league about whether Harrison’s position with the franchise remains secure.
“I don’t have a firm answer for you right now. That’s as much as I can tell you. But it is absolutely a legitimate question,” ESPN’s Tim MacMahon said when asked about Harrison’s job status.
“When you talk to people about the Mavericks around the league, it is the first question that people are asking.”
Harrison has faced mounting criticism since last season’s blockbuster decision to trade superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers – a move that shocked the basketball world.
The roster he assembled this offseason has also come under scrutiny for its imbalance: lacking enough reliable ballhandlers and playmakers while being overloaded with frontcourt players.
