The trade can't be undone, but his management of the aftermath - rather than offering any comfort or ability to move on - has only served to alienate the fanbase more and more. Firing him yesterday would be preferable, but the sooner the better, since he's demonstrating day after day that he's inept at both dealing with basketball stuff AND dealing with the public. If you win with AD but no one cares, did you win?
You've always had a good read on the business side of things. What's your prediction on the next step with Nico? Does he last the rest of the season or do you think Dumont gives him another season to see how Nico's vision plays out?
I initially thought he would get through next season to give things a chance to work, but I think the blowback has been much so much greater than Nico/Dumont thought it would be, and I imagine Dumont has to be weighing the value (not much) vs the cost (more than expected) of keeping Nico around.
