The Dallas Mavericks are now the 5th team to miss the playoffs entirely after reaching the NBA Finals the season before in the last 25 years #MFFL https://t.co/mE0zLbQboT

I think Nico should take advantage of how much they’re cutting to him by putting on a funny hat every couple seconds, just so that there’s variety whenever they cut to him. Like hey, he’s got a fez on now. Oop, it’s a wizards hat now. Just to lighten the mood.

I don’t even think you could fire Nico Harrison right now because the optics would be that you let a random dude brainwash you into OK’ing a seismic trade you didn’t even really believe in. Dumont might have to keep him for another season just to save himself.
