Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[RGP1981]

This is insane. Nico is nuts. Did he make this trade with the approval of the owners? Or did he act on his own?

Sounds like Nico only spoke to the Lakers because he (or Kyrie) wanted AD? There are other franchises who might have given the Mavs an absolute haul for Luka... such as the Jazz, Spurs, Rockets or Thunder.

This move seems to have come from Nico wanting more defense to win now. Kyrie and AD being friends also probably has something to do with it.

Or is this part of something deeper? Such as, the league asked the Mavs to make this trade for viewership reasons? The viewership numbers have not been good this season. This move saves the Lakers from the hole that Lebron and Klutch have dug them into, and the NBA feels like they need the Lakers to be good (even though it shouldn't matter because of other franchises)... and in return for trading Luka to the Lakers, the league has agreed to okay a move for this franchise to Vegas? Or to give them something else to make up for it? I'm digging deep into my conspiracy theory bag there, but who really knows?

Anyway, I will hope that the Mavericks win the ring this year. This trade sukks for Mavs fans and I think y'all are cool, so you deserve something good from this trade.
