DALLAS \u2014 The Mavericks<\/a> are spiraling. What began as a season of cautious optimism has quickly turned into a crisis of confidence. And at the heart of that chaos sits one man \u2014 general manager Nico Harrison. The roster he built looks disjointed, the front office fractured, and the whispers have grown louder by the day. As one insider put it, \u201cit\u2019s a matter of when, not if, Nico Harrison will be fired.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even in a narrow win over Washington, the mood in Dallas felt muted. The Mavericks don\u2019t look like a team; they look like a collection of mismatched parts.<\/p>\n
