The Mavericks stole headlines on Tuesday by officially making the decision to fire general manager Nico Harrison, as Shams Charania reported. While all eyes are focused on Dallas, the Oklahoma City Thunder could surprisingly be one of the biggest winners from the move.
The Thunder and Mavericks not only both play in the Western Conference, but they also happen to hold a rivalry. OKC-Dallas contests tend to be competitive, but the Mavericks' Harrison decision could lead to a rebuild in Dallas.
There are rumors that Harrison's firing could lead to Anthony Davis being traded, as the now-ousted GM was, of course, the one who dealt Luka Doncic for AD, Max Christie, and a first-round pick.
