Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[vfromlmf]

There's a very real possibility Kyrie Irving doesn't get injured if Luka was still in Dallas at  that point. 

I saw very clearly that Kyrie was pressing doing much more than he normally would have done to manufacture scoring in that stretch and in that game in particular.

That point hasn't been talked about much but I agree 100%. Kyrie was going as hard as he could when he got hurt, just like AD did in his first game. Kyrie always amazed me with his easy 25pts and he usually seemed to save his energy for the 4th quarter. There's no way to know for sure but I'm doubt he barrels into the lane at full speed in a normal March game against the Kings if Luka was around. Kyrie was just trying to keep the ship afloat.
