Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[mvossman]

Dang.

Luka plays well.

Fans who are still in the anger stage respond with anger.

Fans who have moved on defend.

I suppose it’s all very therapeutic.

You keep treating this as a loss with folks going through the stages of grief.  That would be the case if Luka had some kind of catastrophic career ending injury.  This was more than that.  It was a breaking of trust with the FO and ownership.  That is not something that returns after a few stages of grief.  There is legit concern that Nico and company are going to commit similar atrocities (like giving away the farm for KD).  It will potentially take years for folks to start trusting these guys again, and for many its not going to happen.
