Shams: Nico to be fired today!

[KillerLeft]

Why I think it is not fair to leak something like this is, because looks like people involved were not aware what is going to happen. If Nico already knew the message, than the leak is ok. It is not nice to blindside people to learn news like this from the media.

Of course it is possible, that Nico already knew he is done and todays meeting is just a formality. In that case the leak is ok in my book

I don't know what's going on and what's not - who knew what and who didn't. And, ordinarily I'd be right there with you on this one. 

But, in this specific case...the Adelsons weren't really interested in buying a basketball team when they acquired the Mavericks. What they were trying to buy was good will in DFW, really (I think). The past 9 months have resulted in the entire city HATING them with the fire of 10,000 suns. It has all backfired, and I'd bet it's making whatever blood-sucking, soulless 1% "DFW takeover" plan they have in play much more difficult to navigate than they'd like. 

In this case, I think publicly offering up Harrison as the "pound of flesh" the mob has never stopped demanding is kind of the whole point.
