Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[Winter]

Or let me put it in different terms. If the Mavs today want taxpayer support to build a new arena, and an entertainment venue around it, will they be warmly embraced? Or laughed at and ignored? They NEED the fan base and public support, and every move they are making is alienating it more and more.

I think this comment should be given some weight. 

The owner was persuaded that the decision for a trade would be more likely to bring a championship and a new arena. They heard what they wanted to hear. And as best I can tell, they heard it from just one person. Nico.
