I can only think of two ways Nico can be proven right.
1. The Mav's are a dominant team in the AD contract window with at least one Chip.
2. Something bad has to happen to Luka.
Nico's chances of survival would have been much better if the team could have shown some proof of concept in the next couple of months. But, now proof of concept is at least a year away (if it happens at all).
The problem with #2 is no Dallas fan is going to root for that. So, if path #1 is now seriously damaged (or at least delayed) and path #2 is impossible to root for, how does Nico ever get back in the good graces of the fan base.
I don't think he will. At this point I don't even think #2 will do it. From his perspective, the only chance would be to bring KD in here to build his super team, but I'm not sure that's even going to be an option now.
