Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[mvossman]

Its hard not to think what could have been if Cuban had made the responsible decision and hired a legit GM candidate like Linsey instead of Nico. We probably extend Brunson instead of let him walk. We probably make a KP trade but more likely in the offseason and for a better perceived return (although it wouldn't be great). We probably don't do the Kyrie trade. We probably get a legit starting center a lot sooner. It could go a lot of ways, but I could see the roster being something like: Hartenstein/DFS/PJ/Luka/Brunson with a bench of Gafford/Naji/Grimes/Exum. Of course it probably still has Powell and Maxi on it. That is probably a contender and we likely have more assets then we currently do.
