It's December. The guy to fix things, who had no experience, is expected to learn it all in 6 months and have it fixed already? The first 6 is the criteria?
The problem is the Mavs needed to be the best in identifying, acquiring, and developing top talent. Instead they have been meh in just about every step of the process. With Cuban calling the shots, plus accepting that level of performance from his experts and helpers, it's been all on him.
Hopefully Nico will learn to be the best and Cuban will step aside as he does. I'm skeptical, given MC's track record plus Nico's complete lack of background. There's artistry needed here, not just hard work and being very organized. But if he is the guy, this is way too soon to know.
PS - MC did do the work to hire Kidd, but Nico was in the loop, consulted, supportive of the idea. In such a way, that I think JK sees Nico as his boss, and that NH not MC is the one primarily calling the shots on JK's tenure.
