Nico Harrison + Rick Welts Season Ending Press Conference

[DanSchwartzgan]

I think the only explanation that makes sense is that this presser is a preparation for firing Nico. I can't imagine Mavs moving forward with all the noise. Players could ask themselves, if they really want to be part of this mess. But if you fire Nico, I think everything gets quiet. Dumont can hide from media, Kidd officially wasn't involved in the Luka trade, new guy is just here to clean the mess.

That did cross my mind.  Give him a chance to speak now since he won’t be here for exit interviews.  The thing that doesn’t fit that narrative well is the plan to do this prior to the Luka homecoming.

I tend to agree that this long national nightmare won’t end as long as Nico is here.  It will be the same conversation for as far as the eyes can see.  With the injury histories of our top players, Nico is not likely to ever get to prove the theory he’s selling.
