The Mavs' front office faced intense backlash, with fans calling for the firing of GM Nico Harrison and urging the new ownership to sell the team. However, as the dust begins to settle, Mavericks CEO Rick Wells remains optimistic that the organization can regain the trust of its supporters.
"In time, wins and losses will tell whether the deal was a good deal or a bad deal," Wells said via Larry Brown Sports. "I just am going to promise to our fans right now. Whatever trust we have lost, or whatever concerns they have, we’re going to earn it back. Because we’re going to do this the right way, and we’re going to win championships."
The Mavericks have already fallen out of the playoff race this season, currently sitting in 11th place in the Western Conference with a 35-38 record. Their hopes now shift to next season, where a healthy roster could put them back in contention for a championship.
