The signing that the Mavs would make to replace the dismissed Nico Harrison

The NBA was shaken this past Tuesday by the announcement of the dismissal of Nico Harrison as GM of the Dallas Mavericks. The architect of the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers did not continue leading the franchise after the poor start to the 2025/26 season. And a replacement must now be found.

The former owner of the Mavs, Mark Cuban, could regain a voice in the franchise's key decisions. According to Tim MacMahon (ESPN), Cuban is pushing for the Texan team to hire Dennis Lindsey as the replacement for Nico Harrison in charge of basketball operations.

Sources close to the situation confirm that Cuban has had ongoing discussions with Patrick Dumont, one of the new owners of the organization, with the aim of influencing the team's sports structure. Although Cuban no longer holds the majority ownership stake after selling it to the Adelson/Dumont families, his involvement in the Mavericks' sports direction remains evident.

Dennis Lindsey, an experienced profile

Dennis Lindsey is not a stranger in Dallas. During the 2023-24 season, he worked as a senior advisor for the franchise, playing a role in planning the roster that eventually reached the NBA Finals. His insider knowledge of the team and reputation as a solid manager make him an attractive option to fill Harrison's position.

Currently, Lindsey holds the position of second most important executive in the Detroit Pistons, just below Trajan Langdon. Before his time in Detroit, he was the chief architect of the Utah Jazz, where he built competitive teams around stars like Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
