I get that Luka suggested DSJ, so he'll at least be considered. I do wonder if there is any lingering DSJ resentment about getting displaced by Luka as the DAL star has resolved.

From my research this morning, there wasn't real animosity between Luka and DSJ. It was more Rick driving a wedge between them, Luka not liking how Rick treated the other players and Rick even telling DSJ that he was jealous of Luka in front of the entire team. I think Luka and DSJ still like each other. I don't think Luka would have requested him if there was a beef there.

Also, if Luka actually requested DSJ and this isn't some made up rumor, Nico will sign him assuming DSJ is interested also. There won't be a consideration. You don't consider stuff for your generational talent that never asks for specific players. Especially when said player is affordable.
