Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[mvossman]

I think it's clear that they were looking for a 2 way superstar that puts in the work to trade Luka for. That's what they got. Granted he does have injury concerns.

Klay said something in the presser last night that I don't know if anyone caught.

He was talking about being a fan and understanding the fans frustration. He said "If I didn't agree with the trade I would probably voice my opinion too".

I've mentioned a few times that I thought the leaders of the team likely voiced it to Kidd and Nico as well and that brought everything to a head. Kidd and Nico had grown tired of Luka constantly complaining to the refs and lack of conditioning. That much is in the media voiced by both of them.

I have a feeling that Kyrie and Klay came forward to Kidd and Nico with the same concerns. That's when something had to be done or risk losing the team.

I took that to mean as a fan.  I really don't think he was suggesting he was pro trade.  Its possible the team was turning against Luka, but I am skeptical and I don't think that quote is strong evidence.
