MAVS NEWS:

[KillerLeft]

I've seen way too many media talking heads say that Nico was a scapegoat. That's alternate universe talk.

He was hired here, not to actually be a GM, because Cuban's plan was to keep doing that, but to establish a connection between the Mavericks and the modern African American athlete pipeline. And, that part worked. Harrison is well-liked in many circles, so it doesn't surprise me that people are going out of their way to defend him. He's their pal, after all. That's what Cuban liked when he hired the guy. 

Honestly, going back to the Donnie Nelson exit and examining the chain of events from then until now with the benefit of hindsight, what's really fascinating is how specifically all of the variables fell into place to make the current hell a reality.
