Really doubt Nico had much to do with this even though he's gonna be the scapegoat. This had to have come from higher ups, probably adam silver level forcing a superstar to be the next face of the league post Lebron type shit. They always force feed superstars into LA. No other explanation for this lopsided trade that no one understands at all. No shot any GM just has a one on one with the Lakers and does this trash deal without talking to any other team at all. Ratings, new tv deals with streaming services next season etc, whatever something like that.
