My opinion on Nico and the trades is a little more forgiving.
I don't think Nico was a bad negotiator with the Luka trade. I don't the he negotiated AT ALL. He wanted to get rid of Luka and acquire AD from the Lakers. That was mostly just a transaction. There was no bidding, no multiple teams, and hardly any players were discussed. Maybe Christi was discussed... maybe another draft pick. But that's it. This was a discussion over a cup of coffee. It was terrible way of doing business, but I never had the impression two sides were negotiating.
Honestly, I'm not sure I have an opinion on what Nico can do and can't do. I like it that he's "busy" in the draft and at the trade deadline. The jury is still out on that I guess.
