Trust between Dumont and Harrison has completely disintegrated.
Man, if this is true, it's due 100% to this abysmal start to the season, rather than any kind of analysis of recent operations.
Harrison had (somehow) survived the unparalleled backlash from the end of last season. That, honestly, represented a huge show of faith from the Governor and Adelsons, particularly because they seem to have purchased the team specifically as some sort of "good will trojan horse" toehold into DFW. I can't imagine they thought in a thousand years that their activities with the Mavericks would produce the OPPOSITE effect (DFW all out hating them), so the fact that he wasn't fired within a month of that universally hated trade tells me they decided to get Harrison's back out of some type of principle...or, they just really admire how he handles his business...or something.
All Harrison and Kidd had to do was bring a team and system to the table that could play credible NBA offense to start this season, and none of this would be happening, I don't think. If Harrison gets fired, he truly has nobody to blame but himself. I didn't think it would happen, but I also never imagined the team's start would be this terrible.
