According to TA reporter Joe Vardon, Harrison's initial plan was approved by Mavericks boss Dumont to build a strong defensive team with Anthony Davis as the core, supplemented by talented big men such as P.J. Washington, Daniel Gafford and Lively, the great three-point shooter Klay Thompson, and top organizer Kyrie Irving.

But Irving suffered a torn knee ligament in March, his thick eyebrows suffered various injuries, Flagg's start was ups and downs, and the team is also struggling in other aspects. If these difficulties continue, the losing streak continues, and attractive offers for Davis appear before the February trade deadline, the team's decision-makers will definitely listen to and consider these offers when weighing whether to completely change direction.

The reporter said: "For now, at least as far as Cuban is concerned, the plan is to keep Davis and hope that a healthier team will turn the situation around in the short term."
