The thing everyone saw coming just landed. Ever since Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison traded Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and the Lakers’ 2029 first-round pick, he has been unpopular among the fans. Even when No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg was putting up a career-high 26-point performance against the Bucks, chants of ‘Fire Nico’ filled the Airlines Center. It seems Mavs governor Patrick Dumont has finally heard the fans. According to insider Shams Charania, Dumont and the ownership are “expected to fire general manager Nico Harrison at a 10 am Central Time meeting on Tuesday.” But will they move on from Anthony Davis, the result of the trade that led to this?

Doncic is dropping almost 40-point triple-doubles for the Los Angeles Lakers every night while Davis remains out injured. Many fans even want him traded so that the Mavericks start rebuilding around Cooper Flagg. However, if the latest report from Marc Stein is to be believed, Davis’s agent maintains a good relationship with the ownership.

“As for what Nico Harrison’s dismissal means for Anthony Davis’ future in Dallas: Sources tell @TheSteinLine and @DLLS_Sports that Davis’ agent Rich Paul has established a strong relationship with Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont since February’s trade. They are in regular contact,” wrote Stein.
