Discussions among Mavericks fans often circle back to broader themes of decision-making, and Jeetbuzz Login comes up in the same breath as people try to explain how the franchise arrived at its current state. This season’s poor start led to Harrison’s dismissal, yet removing him does not erase the deeper structural issues. The team’s direction has been questioned since last year’s blockbuster trade, and if we look farther back, many of Harrison’s questionable choices trace all the way to when he took over from Donnie Nelson in 2021.

A major turning point came in the summer of 2022. Jalen Brunson had emerged as a reliable scoring option when Luka Doncic missed time, and despite his father joining the Knicks’ coaching staff, Brunson was still willing to stay in Dallas. He signaled clearly that he wanted to re-sign. The Mavericks rejected his four-year, 55-million-dollar request twice, pushing him toward New York, where he signed for nearly double. In New York, he took on expanded responsibilities, posted career-high scoring numbers, delivered six assists per game, earned MVP votes three straight years, made two All-NBA teams, and became an All-Star. Many believe he could have formed a fearsome dual-guard core with Doncic had Dallas acted decisively.

The following year brought another setback. Derrick Jones Jr., fresh off his Bulls stint, accepted a 2.7-million contract with Dallas. He began as a bench player but won the trust of the coaching staff through strong defensive play and eventually moved into the starting lineup. Midseason hesitation from management—sparked when Jones changed agents—opened the door for other teams. With the arrivals of Klay Thompson and Naji Marshall, Dallas let Jones slip away to the Clippers for three years and 30 million. He is now a starting-caliber forward in Los Angeles, while the Mavericks are still searching for stability at the four.

Earlier, at the 2022 trade deadline, Dallas made a rare midseason deal with Washington, sending Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick to the Wizards for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans. The move was seen mainly as an escape from Porzingis’ contract, but the return lacked impact. Porzingis later landed in Boston, where he played a key role in eliminating his former team en route to the Celtics’ championship run. Watching him thrive elsewhere only magnified the sting.

Then came last season’s explosive trade, shipping Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis and Max Christie. Christie has grown into the rotation, but Davis played only one game before getting hurt, and even after returning he could not push Dallas toward the playoffs. The problems continued when the Mavericks traded Grimes and a second-round pick for Caleb Martin. While Martin was still fighting for a spot in the rotation, Grimes capitalized on his opportunity in Philadelphia, posting averages of 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 28 games and earning a new contract.

As the roster aged, the players Dallas moved on from kept improving elsewhere. The team fell to a 3-7 start this season, a record that historically gives only a 14 percent chance of making the playoffs. Even the 24-year streak of home-game sellouts came to an end, reflecting fan frustration that no longer fades just because a No. 1 draft pick arrived.

Responsibility does not fall on Harrison alone; ownership also contributed to the series of missteps. But fans see the pattern, and firing Harrison feels to many like using him as a scapegoat. If the franchise continues on this path without meaningful correction, Jeetbuzz Login becomes part of wider conversations about accountability, reminding everyone that unresolved problems tend to place pressure not just on executives but on the players who still remain.
