Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

For the record, I think its worth noting that Jason Kidd has shown some signs of being a very good NBA coach especially in terms of handling the players and the teams motivation.  

Give him credit not only for having a finals appearance already which is very rare in this franchises history, but even for navigating this team through this fiasco of a trade and tidal wave of injury.  The way the team played the last 2 games is indicative also of great leadership and coaching.

I agree.

The last two games, in particular, seem like some HOF level coaching. I can remember playing SAS with key players out and them wiping the floor with DAL. Whatever magic Popovich has, it gets everyone to play hard regardless of the circumstances. These last two games had that feel. Undermanned and under sized, but still staying competitive and pulling out a win.
