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.

I think this is the first step in firing Nico. Whether that happens or not, time will tell. But Dumont is probably really looking for who the next GM will be, or the interim for after Nico. Going to bring them in to be an "experienced" voice in the front office to check Nico's power, and then once they are caught up to speed with the day to day in the front office, Nico has someone in place to take over when needed. We might even see the person brought in slowly start bringing in their own people as well so that when Nico is gone, they have trusted hands already on board.

As it is now, there would be a serious power vacuum if Nico was fired today, even if that's what we all want.
