Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki believes that general manager Nico Harrison should have been fired sooner. "I think he was a black cloud over the organization," Nowitzki said in an interview on Friday, referring to the uncertainty surrounding Harrison's tenure.
Nowitzki expressed his support for owner Mark Cuban and emphasized that the team needs stability after years of turmoil. He believes that Harrison's departure will allow the team to move forward and find a new direction under a more stable leadership structure.
The Mavericks have been plagued by controversy in recent years, with various players and coaches leaving the organization due to disputes with management. Nowitzki's comments suggest that he is confident that the team can regain its footing now that Harrison has departed.
Nowitzki also expressed his admiration for Luka Doncic, who has been instrumental in leading the Mavericks to recent playoff success. "He's a winner, no question," Nowitzki said of Doncic, who is one of the NBA's top players and a key figure in the team's future.
Overall, Nowitzki's comments suggest that he believes the Mavericks have the talent and potential to succeed under new leadership.

the mavs need stability and consistency, not more controversy... but at the same time, i get what dirk's saying, if harrison was causing that much uncertainty then maybe it's for the best that he's gone. btw, luka's still a god on the court tho 
his departure is definitely a step in the right direction for the team. We all need some stability after all those drama-filled seasons 
he's such an amazing player and a great leader - can't wait to see what he does next! 
I'm kinda surprised Dirk is speaking out like this. He was always super tight-lipped about his opinions on the team... 
The uncertainty surrounding Harrison must've gotten to him, but I think it's great that he's finally sharing his thoughts. 
What's crazy is that Nowitzki seems to be saying that Harrison's departure will give the team a fresh start, which is kinda ironic considering how much drama they've been through... 
. if you're stuck in a rut, like the Mavs were with Nico Harrison at the helm, it's hard to move forward. nowitzki's right on point that the team needs some stability, and i think we can all relate to that feeling of being stuck in limbo 
. if you don't shake things up, you'll just keep spinning your wheels. so yeah, maybe Harrison's departure is a wake-up call for the Mavs, and i hope they use this as an opportunity to find their footing again 
. Luka Doncic is definitely a gem, but even he needs a solid supporting cast behind him 
. The Mavericks have shown promise with Luka leading the way, so hopefully they can find their footing now
