There is no good explanation for the trade. You also really can't say publicy why you traded Luka. Flat out, they lost faith that he was that guy. I think most of us have differing views.
Although, Nico being so unprepapred at his press conference and not meeting the moment is inexcusable. So is Dumont's quotes. Who knows who else is leaking the quotes we have seen, but that is low class as well. Mavs need a crisis prevention team. The Mavs would have taken all of these bullets for their decision but how they handled it made it so much worse imo.
And i am not even sure how you answer the question publically on why you traded Luka. There is no right way. There is a wrong way though. And they hit that out of the park.
