Recently, Arenas talked about Nico Harrison, who was fired by the Mavericks, on Matt Barnes' podcast.

Barnes: "I feel like Nico is the scapegoat again in this situation. If this team can get healthy - I mean, that's a big if - Irving will be back in late January, early February, and AD is slowly recuperating to make sure he's healthy. But if they can get these guys on the court, this team will definitely be in the mix. In the middle of the Western Conference, once the situation is hot, it is too early to draw a conclusion. "

Arenas: "Yes. No matter who the new general manager is, he will be regarded as a god as if he has done something great. "
