TAKE THIS WITH A GIGANTIC GRAIN OF SALT!
I read this on a Reddit post from an anonymous dude. So no legit sources and you shouldn’t necessarily believe this…. And yet, reading this in how the Mavs FO is operating, it makes sense:
“They will say anything at this point. I know a couple of people with connections in the season ticket sales office and had lunch with one of them a couple days ago. Let's just say, sales aren't going well. Even the normal scalpers are backing off because, shocking I know, AD isn't as much of a draw as Luka and costs for the lower bowl seats are like 20 percent more next year.
The Mavs ownership is in full panic mode because their short term corporate sponsors are looking at them as a toxic brand. Rumor around the office is that Nico came off so poorly, they have instructed him not to say anything, lest he piss off the remaining fanbase more.
Basically, everytime they do anything, it just angers the fans more. The solution seems obvious, fire Nico, have Dumont disappear into the background and start a campaign of healing with the base. Unfortunately, they are still in the mindset that this was the right move. They are trying to speak into existence a championship for the Mavs, because they don't want to admit they are wrong and they believe that a championship will make fans forget about the mistreatment.”
