The biggest kick on the nuts is Pelinka’s camp leaking how they whittled down the trade by convincing their “dear friend” Nico how Luka was drunk and fat. What a bozo Nico is. Pelinka doesn’t lose many trades. The moment he said that and still wanted Luka, Nico should have just shut it down. Pelinka treated Nico like the novice tool he was while Nico seemed overwhelmed.
Pelinka’s camp leaking that was akin to pissing on you and then claiming they did a favor by not taking a dump on you.
Windy today said that part of the reason the 2031 pick got dropped was because Nico wanted to keep things secret and wouldn't let the Lakers talk to Luka about it to confirm whether he'd sign an extension.
The insanity of the secrecy of this is why people keep their tin foil hats on trying to reach for ANYTHING to bring peace of mind to a decision like this as well as the poor execution of it all. This man really didn't care about anyone but himself, this isn't about the mavs, this isn't for the fans, this isn't even about fucking winning, this is all about Nico getting his friends on the same roster together so he can watch the fanfic that goes on in his head.
