Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[mvossman]

This pretty much confirms my thinking. I posted this in the news thread. But, once Luka was traded I had a feeling and posted about it that Klay and Kyrie were involved. They had likely talked to Kidd and Nico about moving Luka. The destination is Kyrie, KD, Klay, and AD. This has been in the works since Kyrie was in Boston. Boston hates Kyrie because the team found out what he was doing.

Klay knew what was going on since he had played on team USA and with KD in GS. He probably said no to joining since he thought he would retire with GS. When they didn't offer him what he thought he was worth he was in.

This offseason we'll see the young guys shipped off to the Suns for KD. KD, Klay and AD will keep things afloat while Kyrie gets ready to play.

I find it highly unlikely that Kyrie and Klay suggested to Nico they move on from Luka.  I doubt that thought ever crossed their minds as even a remote possibility (on account of it being completely insane).
