Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[SleepingHero]

I don’t think Luka will ever be a Maverick again, but it wouldn’t be unheard of after a complete overhaul of ownership/management/coaching.
BUT my one glimmer of hope is that now that the super max is off the table Luka will join with his best friend Joker in Denver.  I don’t know Denver’s salary situation but in today’s NBA i think this is a real possibility.  Players go where they want and play with who they want.  The super max contract is the only thing that has slowed that process down.
The thought of Luka/Joker playing together for 5 years IS THE ONE THING that could make me smile as a result of this trade.

Agreed and I’d be happy. I’d root for the nuggets. The lakers aspect of this trade just adds such an insulting little wrinkle.
