Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[loki]

Gotta hand it to Nico.

He knew how popular Luka is in Dallas.

He knew how unpopular this trade would be among most casual fans.

He knew the risk that he might “lose” the trade, I.e. Davis underperforms and Luka overperforms.

He knew the risk that it might eventually end his GM career.

But he did it anyway. Guts.

BTW, he must have discussed this for quite some time with Jason Kidd, and I’d assume Mark Cuban as well. So there had to be at least some degree of agreement between them.

But Nico is the one who will take the public arrows.

Guts.

Not sure I can credit him with that much awareness. I had always hoped the reason he couldn't do an interview without fumbling every other word was due to nerves. But it looks like he may actually have a room temperature IQ (celsius).
