ESPN insider Tim MacMahon said on Monday that he believed that it was a matter of "when, not if" Harrison would be fired.
Harrison helped build that Mavericks roster that advanced to the 2024 NBA Finals, including orchastating deals for P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford throughout the season. However, his support quickly began to unravel after sending Doncic to the Lakers in February of 2025. Even with landing the No. 1 overall pick in 2025 - Duke standout Cooper Flagg - Harrison's spot as GM has still not been secured.
Dallas has started the season with a 3-8 record and just fell to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night at home.
