Nico Harrison believed that the best way to build the Dallas Mavericks was with a roster equipped to dominate with size and power down low, and this strategy has backfired significantly.

Harrison was fired on November 11, but his decisions are still hurting the Mavericks exactly a month and a half later. Dallas is 12-19 on the year, and Harrison's roster construction has put Jason Kidd in a hole that may be hard to escape as they try to make a push for a playoff spot.

While the Mavericks have won seven of their last 11 games, Kidd's frontcourt logjam has been obvious over the last few games.
