Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

He's gotta go. There is no way he can be trusted to get the BEST deal for the Mavs, ever. You can't put him in charge of negotiations or player evaluation. It's not an issue of punishing him for being a dolt (which he is) or trading the face of the franchise (which he did) but rather that he doesn't have the skills to fix what he's broken. 

It's easy to side with this point, and I do, but even keeping the most open mind possible and holding out some hope that this was just a poorly executed maneuver and could be a single blemish amid a scad of artful roster moves (the rosiest possible view, in other words), I think it's clear that the DFW area will simply refuse to move on until this man and his job are offered up to the mob. How that isn't apparent to those to whom he reports at this point is beyond me. I think that's probably as close to a unanimously held opinion as I've ever encountered during my Mavs fandom. 

There are still people who think giving up on Christian Wood was a mistake, as overtly correct as that was, so imagine how obvious something has to be in order for us ALL to make it our battle cry.
