Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[hakeemfaan]

I would absolutely one million percent rather have Luka over AD and a #1. That being said, I understand why they traded Luka, but they completely botched the return. They did it in secrecy because they knew they wouldn't be able to trade Luka if the fans knew ahead of time. Nico handled this as poorly as humanly possible with no regard to the fans. The return from LA should have been AD, Reeves, Knecht and 2 number ones at a minimum. What happened should not have been allowed by Silver.

Absolutely. It should have been the minimum. 

The biggest kick on the nuts is Pelinka’s camp leaking how they whittled down the trade by convincing their “dear friend” Nico how Luka was drunk and fat.  What a bozo Nico is. Pelinka doesn’t lose many trades.  The moment he said that and still wanted Luka, Nico should have just shut it down. Pelinka treated Nico like the novice tool he was while Nico seemed overwhelmed. 

Pelinka’s camp leaking that was akin to pissing on you and then claiming they did a favor by not taking a dump on you.
