Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[cow]

FWIW the money difference in what Luka is being paid is relatively minor (in NBA terms). He still will get Supermax money, only it starts the following year.

True, but it's more about him wanting to be here and spitting in his face and not with just the trade, but all the moves leading up to it.  

People will ultimately do what they want, but I see no harm in discouraging destructive behavior. As far as the Dirk and Luka stuff, I think the way Cooper is treated in the present by the organization and fanbase is going to be the far more important factor.

I think it is bad form to break simple crowd etiquette like chanting during your own team's free throws, but everyone's grieving time and process is going to differ. It's why banning shirts and signs at the arena was a bad idea and wasn't likely to squash the discontent. And had this backlash not occurred and bleed into this season, Nico would most likely still be our GM. We as fans do hold some power.
