Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[mvossman]

Here’s the silver lining. The Mavs created a little salary cap flexibility, so Nico has opportunities to continue to be the hero in the story!! LOL

In seriousness, the fan backlash has been intense on an unprecedented scale. Ownership may have thought they were saving a ton of money with this trade. But now, to save face and regain credibility, they may just have to do something else big, and by big, I mean expensive.  That would make me feel a little better.  Buy us off.

Given how bad Nico is with negotiating, I would be terrified that he is going to make some big moves.  He has already made it clear he doesn't care about the future.  He might send out the 31 and Lakers pick and this team will have to wait 7 years before it can even attempt to rebuild.
