In fact, the team's previous majority owner, Mark Cuban also recently expressed regret over giving Harrison’s control of the organization.

Sam Quinn critiques Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison following Luka Doncic trade

Luka Doncic's exit from the Dallas Mavericks this season is still a topic of discussion among Mavs supporters. Many reportedly blamed Nico Harrison, the general manager of the Dallas Mavericks, for this decision. Now, an NBA insider, Sam Quinn of CBSSports, has reportedly predicted that Harrison might get fired soon. He further said:"And that brings us to our final point here: the people who made the trades. Nico Harrison is a bad general manager... but he's a general manager. Mavericks ownership can fire him at any time. Eventually, Patrick Dumont is probably going to see the light and replace him…”

He continued:“It might take a few years. Harrison's plan might need to fail first. But the person who made the trade isn't the person who's truly in charge of the team. He can be replaced. Jerry Jones can't. He owns the team. He will presumably run it for the rest of his life…”He then added:“The Cowboys haven't made the NFC Championship Game since the 1995 season.

We're now three decades removed from their last final four appearance, and Jones has been running the team throughout all of it. Sadly, questionable moves like the Parsons trade are just the norm for the Cowboys. No one will ultimately be held accountable if this trade fails."Harrison might not need to be fired, though, if they continue to succeed. Additionally, without a doubt, though, he was fortunate to acquire Cooper Flagg after giving up Doncic to the Lakers.

Mark Cuban then said: “I f**ked up. I mean when I did the deal the presumption was that I would still be running basketball and we tried to put it in the contract, but the NBA said the governor is the governor and they make all final decisions…”It had been an error, he claimed. He then clarified that the person who traded Luka didn't want him there due to internal events. He went on to say that he was still a devoted Mavs supporter and that it was in the past.Cuban also discussed how Dallas Mavericks fans felt about the agreement. According to reports, they were horrified and furious that a trade of this kind would even be entertained. Now, Nico Harrison is facing fires.
