Nico Harrison's firing just sent a message to every NBA general manager: moving your franchise superstar is a career-ending decision if it doesn't work out immediately.
Harrison dealt Luka Doncic and lasted nine months before getting shown the door. That's not enough time to rebuild, not enough time to prove a new direction, barely enough time to see what you actually got in return.
But with the chants of "Fire Nico" growing more deafening by the day, ownership didn't care. They saw their superstar gone and decided the architect of that move needed to go with him.
