Right now, Nico made this franchise his, tbh. Only Powell has been here before him.
It reminds me of FC Barcelona under Rossell. He was jealous of the fact that the generational coach and player were bought by the previous president, and was trying his best to undermine them, and even replace them, in order to have any future success only credited to him.
I fear Nico might be the same, and could be one of those with main character syndrome
This isn’t an outlandish thought at all. Jerry wanted the credit that people gave Jimmy. Shaq and Kobe didn’t want to share credit. The new boss in the corporate world often suffers from the same disease.
Nico (whether is was all DL, all Nico, or combo effort) has transformed the roster over the last couple of years but if the Mavs had beat the Celtics last year the lion’s share of the credit for a chip was going to the guy brought in by the previous FO. Some folks egos are so big they can’t share ANY credit for success.
