Kyrie Irving's season-ending torn ACL has left the Dallas Mavericks fans in dismay, raising concerns about the future of the franchise. This injury is a direct fallout from the decision made by GM Nico Harrison to trade Luka Doncic, which many believe was a grave mistake. Due to Irving's increased minutes and usage rate this season, the Mavericks find themselves at a crossroads. With a disappointing 32-30 record and the possibility of missing the playoffs, discussions about tanking for a higher draft pick have emerged. The franchise may need a complete overhaul, starting with a front office shake-up to restore hope among the fanbase and set a path towards rebuilding. The future hinges on how the management decides to navigate this turbulent period and whether they can capitalize on upcoming draft prospects to rejuvenate the team.
