Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

They were in 5th place because he wasn't ready to start the season, basically. 

He led the NBA in pretty much every statistical playoff category because the entire offense was just having him on-ball, 24/7. 

I get it. You don't think there was anything wrong with his last playoff run, and you don't think he should've been traded. I'm telling you, I legitimately (as in, not to make an argument - this is how I felt, PRIOR to the trade) didn't like where his game, his body, his attitude or his career were headed. If you think that makes me dumb, so be it. I respect your opinion, friend.

That’s right, no one is perfect, but I didn’t have a problem with his playoff run. Few in history have done better. The Mavs were just outmatched against the Celtics, and Kyrie didn’t show up against them.  I also didn’t think he should be traded, especially for the return we got back. As far as the criticism of how he showed up this season, I agree, but not enough to sell him off for an old player with an even greater history of injuries who plays a less valuable position.
