Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[hakeemfaan]

Listened to Ben & Skin show and Skin seems to think Nico Looked at what San Antonio and OKC are building and determined the Mavs need to win a title in the next 2-3 years because those teams will soon be unbeatable. It won't matter if the Mavs have Luka or not, so push all your chips in on this year or next. If that reasoning is true it couldn't be more flawed.

Should the rest of the Western Conference throw in the towel too? Should Denver mortgage their future because OKC will be too good? Golden State? And most interesting, what about the Lakers themselves?

Someone please tell me. Who is the Mavs' third best player who makes them so much better with Kyrie + AD than the Lakers were with Lebron and AD?

Does Nico think Kyrie is that much better than Lebron?

Does Nico think PJW is that much better than Reeves?

Does Nico think the Mavs collection of roll playing wings is that much better than the Lakers collection of role playing wings?

The only real difference I see is the Mavs have two rim rolling centers. But you saw last night it only took about 48 hours for the Lakers to go get a player that's similar in Mark Williams. And as good as Williams has looked at times in Charlotte, something tells me he's going to look better in LA.

The Mavs went to the Finals and Skin wants me to believe they traded their best player, a homegrown icon, because Nico is scared of the Thunder and Spurs? Just insane.

You have been cooking on this thread. Many of us asked the same thing. How does the AD trade make us better right now if the price is losing Lika?  Luka is an overall more impactful player and the things AD brings on defense we kinda had it with out bigs and PJ. Now PJ has to be a SF. Lively or Gafford has to be gone. Crazy.  If adding KD is possible without a Luka in the trade, what was stopping Nico from that trade. 

The media especially a lot of the national media who want to see the Lakers do well for selfish reasons are not asking any of the specific questions you bring up. They are just dealing in cliches saying how AD is a great player though many of them were critical of AD’s motor and not one would have traded Luka essentially straight up for AD 

No anger or hurt for me anymore. The Mavs now are just an odd business run by folks I can’t get behind. As mentioned, fool me once…
