Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[DanSchwartzgan]

A lot of folks have been struggling with the concept that Nico could possibly be this much of an idiot and there had to be something else there that we all don't know about.  My guess is as we watch Luka continue to be a top 3-5 player in the NBA for many years with the Lakers it will become more and more clear that the trade was as bad as it seemed on its face and that Nico is indeed a complete idiot.

 
I can only think of two ways Nico can be proven right.  

1. The Mav's are a dominant team in the AD contract window with at least one Chip.
2. Something bad has to happen to Luka.  

Nico's chances of survival would have been much better if the team could have shown some proof of concept in the next couple of months.  But, now proof of concept is at least a year away (if it happens at all).

The problem with #2 is no Dallas fan is going to root for that.  So, if path #1 is now seriously damaged (or at least delayed) and path #2 is impossible to root for, how does Nico ever get back in the good graces of the fan base.
