This is why they need to fire Nico by the end of the season. He will be in full on desperate mode to make the Luka trade not a complete disaster. No asset will be safe (Flagg would be, but not realistic possibility). Unfortunately, our limited exposure to the new ownership does not give me a lot of confidence they will make the right decision. I'm afraid Dumont might have stamped his name to that trade with his silly "Shaq work ethic" speech and may decide to sink with the Nico ship.
