So if we fire Nico does AD pretty much pull a Kawhi on us? Just play when he wants to, which is never. Then his value continues to decrease. I'm starting to wonder if we pull the plug on AD sooner rather than later. if we hire a new GM that is.
Hey, I expect that Harrison getting fired might have a negative impact on MANY of the Mavs players. He's obviously supported by AD and Kyrie, so I'd imagine that those guys will be on their way out almost immediately (they both have their contracts, so there's nothing really here to work for if the team isn't competing, anyway). I'm not suggesting one or both would be traded the next day or week, but the new GM probably won't care about them the way Harrison does, or they him.
PJW seems to like the dude quite a bit, too. Harrison has literally gotten this far in life because of relationships, and it's not going to make things better, from the locker room POV. Instead, it's going to bring home for them the severity of their losing situation and make it more real for them, bringing a lot of uncertainty with that realization.
None of that matters though, because what's on the court is pathetic, so at some point losses have to be cut and the franchise has to get busy trying to fix this thing. If that means it has to get worse before it gets better, so be it.
