Nico reading this and thinking…”Wait.. Luka is not fat and drunk anymore???? He is a gift and top 3 player now as per Pelinka? But, but you told me Luka was a huge risk Rob my buddy “
I want to convince myself that Nico is not stupid but even if you believe he made this deal because he genuinely felt AD for Luka puts this roster over the top , there is zero excuse for Pelinka to further whittle down the trade. Nico got played for the amateur GM he is. Pelinka must have felt like the sleazy car salesman seeing a sucker run up to him and pitch a deal that the salesman, sleazy as he was, himsel would not have dared pitch.
However once he realized Nico was over his head, Pelinka still applied that extra sleaze for good measure.
Well played Pelinka.
