MacMahon: Mavericks to Fire Nico Harrison Midseason

The Mavericks are off to a 3-7 start and ESPN’s Tim MacMahon warned that GM Nico Harrison could be out "mid-season," saying it’s "a matter of when, not if." Dallas’ rookie Cooper Flagg has struggled, veterans aren’t producing, and injuries plus lineup tinkering have left the team underperforming despite a small bounce vs. Washington. Merlin sees a familiar storm: when expectations and payroll don’t match production, front-office heads roll fast. A lone win won’t steady the ship if rotations, health and player development stay messy. Ownership will choose accountability over patience unless the Mavs show a clear, quick turn in form.
