NICO HHRROND NEW CHANCES SHOULD BE BIBLE
The firing of Nick Harrison as Mavs GM was celebrated by NBA fans after the Luka Doncic trade
The Mavs' Daniel Gafford is reportedly drawing trade interest before the NBA deadline.
During their chat, Dumont showed his level of composure.
"Mostly the downside is that it seems like a terrible business. And trying to get him to contact us, 'He wants to join us.'" That's pretty much what he said."He accepted my apology."
Dickson also discussed the convo with the Dallas News' Mike Curtis.
"[Dumton] is trying to do what's best for the company. We all do," he said.
Dixon also made it clear that even though Luke is wearing a Los Angeles Lakers jersey, he remains a Mavericks fan.
Look no further than recent events to see that Dumont's remorse is all too real.ESPN's Shams Charania and Tim MacMahon reported that the Mavs are preparing to fire general manager Nico Harrison and make Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi their interim heads of basketball operations.
This comes less than a full year after DonΔiΔ's shocking trade to the Lakers dramatically changed Dallas' trajectory.There is no clearer sign that Dumont considers the move a big mistake.
Unfortunately, he can't ring the bell.
Dumont can't undo the Luka trade, and he can't let people forget his role in agreeing to a deal that almost anyone could see would end badly.
Assuming Harrison's suspension is a possible construction, the Mavericks at least have a long-term cornerstone of the cooper flag.1 pick at No.averaged 15 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists through his first 11 games.
Still, it will take a few more years for Dallas to turn into a serious contender, and the process of building Dumont along with the fans may take a long time.
