Mike Schmitz, the newly appointed general manager of the Dallas Mavericks, reflected on the whirlwind of the past few days since his hiring on Friday. “It’s been chaotic in a beautiful way. It’s not lost on me what an amazing opportunity this is,” Schmitz said.
At just 35 years old, Schmitz acknowledged the significance of his new role. “To be able to be a general manager for such a prestigious organization, working in unison with Masai, obviously Patrick Dumont, and the rest of the ownership group believing in me at a really, really important time — I’m very, very thankful for this chance.”
He expressed his excitement for the challenge ahead, emphasizing his commitment to building a sustainable winner in Dallas. “I’m super excited to just do everything we can to turn the Mavs into a sustainable winner for years and years to come.”
Schmitz’s appointment marks a new chapter for the Mavericks, as the franchise looks to build on its recent success under head coach Jason Kidd and star guard Luka Doncic. With a young core already in place, Schmitz’s front-office experience and fresh perspective are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the team’s future.
