Chuck says Nico is being made the scapegoat.

I love Chuck, but this is one of his worst takes.  Anyone who takes that stance that Nico didn't get a fair chance to see what this team can bee post-trade because of injuries...hello!?!?!?!  He trade for Day-to-Davis/Street Clothes and not a young version of Davis either.  The outcome was 100% predictable.  And let's not forget the cherry-on-top Caleb Martin trade.  I've never seen the basketball community be in more unison than the Luka trade and calling it out far what it was; one of the worst in sports history.  You just don't trade generational talent unless you have to and if you do, you need to refill the holes you dug to put a team around that talent.  Nico did neither.  These commentators that are his friend are so pathetic, walking on eggshells instead of just calling it what it is.  It's almost more infuriating than the trade itself.  /rant
