Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[audiosway]

This is coping at its finest, my man. How do I know? Because I keep telling myself the exact same thing in order not to lose my mind. This is the only angle that makes it somewhat bearable, so I hope it’s true—at least to some extent. It will be interesting to see if I can level myself into this line of thinking enough.

If yes, I will stay a Mavs fan forever (because honestly, what could change it if this doesn’t?). If no, I will constantly feel like an old dude who went out of his way to make a decent living for his family, only to wake up one day and find out—out of nowhere—that his wife is leaving him, she’s been cheating on him for years, and his kids obviously hate him. Also, his dog just died, and they changed the formula of that one beer he liked for the last 30 years, goddammit.

What I’m saying is: Either this works, and my love for the Mavs will prevail, or I’m going to be one sad, bitter motherf*****—at least when it comes to basketball.

I know brother. I know. I've thought about that too. I'm right there with you. I'm going to age myself by saying this. But, the Mavs feel like "new" Coke right now.
