Mine is more of plea for us to enjoy the moment for a change, and even then maybe it's more just a statement of how I'm approaching the season, not a call to arms for anyone else.
Having said that, I'd submit that the Nash fiasco might've been worse that the Luka trade. The Brunson thing, too, for that matter. You might not like what Harrison got for Luka, and you might not think he got enough, but he did get something. And, before the trade deadline that everyone loves and have now decided to attribute to Lindsey, it's now widely known that the main goal was to send two 1st round picks for Kyle Kuzma, who by all accounts shut it down by saying he didn't want to play here. I have no doubt Lindsey was involved in the deals that did happen, but he was also undoubtedly involved in that offer, as well as the prioritization of it. So, honest question: Had that deal gone through, would that have been Harrison's fault, or Lindsey's? The guy who's in charge is in charge, end of the day.
I forgot about Nash (I was a causal fan back then). So one catastrophic move in 20 years for Nelson and 2 in 4 years for Nico.
I thought it was one first for Kuzma (but that would have been terrible regardless). My narrative says that Kuzma was all Nico and the good moves were all Lindsey
Regardless my argument is not that Linsey was perfect, just that Nico without Linsey influence has been very bad.
