Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[ballsrchr]

You mentioned the anger towards Nico will lessen as Christie keeps improving. That won’t happen for me or for a lot of fans.  As others have said, Nico has lost the trust of fans by showing how terrible a negotiator he is. Trade Luka or not can be argued back and forth, but there is no debate to me in even trying to remotely justify the haul that came back. 

I said after that first day of anger subsided, that I realized I can never support another team. I will always support players who are playing for us fans of their team. I will not betray the team like Nico and Dumont betrayed the fans. 

At the same time, Nico has to go for any real healing to begin. 

Dumont is another story. The cherry on the cake would be the Adelsons selling the team but I wished for a long time for Cuban to sell and look what I got.  It would at least start accelerating the healing more with Dumont firing Nico and saying he was fed bad info by Nico and apologizing to the fans

Yeah...my anger toward Nico specifically, Dumont incidentally, and the Mavs organization triennially, still smolders strongly.  I will accept the trade eventually from the organization--maybe I already have...I'm conflicted.  But Nico and Dumont--no...not till hell freezes over.

As for the team...hell man!...I'm enjoying the team.  I love the style of play, the teamwork, the effort.  I am rooting for them!  I can't give up on a team I've been watching for 40 something years--from the beginning!
