The Mavericks’ latest extension didn’t grab national headlines, but it revealed exactly how Nico Harrison envisions building this team’s future.

Washington, a move that didn’t generate the same buzz as a blockbuster trade but spoke volumes about general manager Nico Harrison’s blueprint for the franchise moving forward. With Washington now secured alongside Daniel Gafford and Kyrie Irving, Dallas has made its intentions clear: build a foundation of versatile, reliable players on sustainable contracts that allow the team to compete now and keep options open later.
