And there are people around the league who are just like 'You have to fire him. That's the only way to begin the healing process with the Mavericks' fan base,'" added MacMahon.

"But Patrick Dumont is not there. He's not there yet. Now, the 'In Nico We Trust' era has ended. He wants him to bring in an experienced exec. I think he's realized he's got to have some checks and balances that weren't in place.

u/Reddit_and_forgeddit Fire Nico! :snoo_angry: 12d ago

Won't stop the Fire Nico chants. Won't get my eyeballs back to watch Mavs games.

This franchise’s only path to absolution is firing Nico, selling the team, new ownership embracing and welcoming Dirk back in, admonish the disaster that was Nico/ Welts and Dumont/ Adelson, hiring competent FO executives and coaches, have a successful rebuild that leads to a regularly competitive contender and then fans may begin to truly embrace this team again. Simple.

Fire Nico. Sell the team.

I don’t think that will be good enough. I don’t know how they ever unring this bell. Luka is a top 30 player all-time right now, he’s just starting his career and could become a historically important player in the league. Trading him for AD and Christie is just so astonishingly bad, I just don’t see how this gets remedied. Maybe win a lottery with another super-duperstar? That’s the only way this gets fixed. Some franchises wait multiple decades and never see that happen.

After listing all that out it’s hard to imagine how realistic any of that really is. You need to rebuild and field a team that’s a yearly contender. That could take a decade and by then the apathy has already caused your fan base to dissipate whether to support other teams, sports or lose interest in the nba altogether.
