After losing to the Phoenix Suns 123-114 on Wednesday night, the Dallas Mavericks fell to 3-9 in the regular season. Through the first 12 games of the season, there's no doubt that the Mavericks' season has been filled with a roller coaster of emotions, especially after the firing of Nico Harrison on Tuesday morning. Regardless, the product on the floor still has yet to meet the expectations of fans looking for a playoff berth after missing the playoffs for two of the last three years.
While the emotions have been high, the Mavericks must stray away from granting every fan's wish of having a fire sale and trading many key pieces at this exact moment.
