The Dallas Mavericks have a 3-7 record to start the 2025-26 NBA season. Their next game is against the Milwaukee Bucks, too, so that’s likely to get worse. Things have looked bleak in Dallas to start the year, and that has only worsened the discontent within the fan base.
Nico Harrison traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. AD has played just five of their 10 games, with an injury already bothering him. Meanwhile, Luka looks like the MVP of the league. Fans have been complaining vehemently on social media and at the arena, and this reportedly has not gone unnoticed.

“With the Mavericks already in a significant hole when it comes to simply reaching the playoffs, league sources tell The Stein Line that the rising and virtually ceaseless negativity that surrounds the franchise is indeed wearing on and troubling ownership,” NBA insider Marc Stein reported.

“While Dumont seemingly prefers to give Harrison more time, contemplating whether an in-season change is the wisest course for the Mavericks to try to forge ahead post-Dončić has become unavoidable at the highest levels of the organization.”

The Luka trade was widely deemed terrible when it happened; it is utterly indefensible in hindsight. There is no disputing that the fanbase might simply never accept Harrison as the GM, no matter how things go. Changes are needed in Dallas, and they might be coming sooner than expected.
