Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[ThisIStheYear]

This sounds like he and the folks he's talking to are just trying to make an educated guess about the owners, not reporting from anyone inside. The people Calin cites aren't saying the know. They're saying "knowing Nico, ......" 

Cowherd is kind of hit or miss in my opinion. He can talk, and has opinions of differing relevance, but he's always mainly riffing, not reporting based on actual info.  

That's my take.

Doesn’t jibe with the story that when Dumont first heard this idea he laughed. Even if true, it’s clear the fans view Luka as more than just another player.  Dumont would take a mulligan if he could. It’s going to take a big, expensive move or incredible stroke of luck to win the fans back.

But his second trade idea has merit. Austin for Gaff works in the trade machine and helps both teams. It seems kind of perfect to me and really balances the first trade.
