The Mavericks are firing Harrison nine months after the jarring and stunning Luka Doncic trade ? a move for which Dumont took accountability and accepted as a mistake in a court-side interaction with a fan on Monday night.

How long until the Lakers hire him as a ?consultant.? 

[SHAQATTACK]

Lakers ?.. say thanks ?..our secret mission is accomplished.  Thanks out to Adam Silver for his unwavering support of LeBron and LAker organization

9 months past due but OK

[Jiri Welsch]

Thus concludes a truly memorable example of organizational malpractice.

This is an opportunity for the Celtics.

Nico traded for Davis, and wasn't going to trade him on principle and ego. Now that he's gone, everything is a possibility.

The Mavs lucked into Flagg. Now they can rebuild around Flagg and his timeline. They already have Gafford and Lively as young bigs that can play next to Flagg.

It makes a lot of sense for the Mavs to start shopping Davis now and look to retool around Flagg. I think it makes sense for them to shop Irving too at some point.

The Celtics could put together a decent trade package for Davis, if he was willing to play for Boston. He's the exact type of player that would fit really well next to Brown and Tatum.

If the Celtics could keep one of Pritchard-White-Simons, along with some of their wings, they could retool more quickly than we previously thought.

I would pass on Davis, but I would consider Lively or Gafford if the Mavs decide to do something. Simons + pick(s) for either work?

[Donoghus]

Ummm....okay.

The Mavericks and Patrick Dumont have 10:30 am central time meetings to appoint executives Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi to lead basketball operations in interim, sources tell me and Tim MacMahon.

Davis is one of my least favorite players in the NBA, but there is no denying his ceiling and how he makes basketball teams better.

We already had one unreliable big who struggled with injuries recently. If Davis was willing to fit into the pecking order correctly and be a DMVP player, he would have a much more significant impact than Gafford or Lively.

My main thing is, idk if Dallas would do it for just Simons + PP + picks, and I don't want to give up White or Jaylen. Plus, AD himself is nowadays very injury prone

Imagine learning that you're getting fired from a Shams tweet.

This and I can also see AD as someone who would very much let his unhappiness with a situation affect his playing.  I don't think he'd want to come to Boston, I don't think he'd be happy and I think it would show on the court.

I think salary cap rules would essentially require this to be White+Simons for Davis.

I'm guessing White would be best going to a third team, but maybe they like White's fit?

That's why I'd consider Gafford
