Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[ThisIStheYear]

These days even football is highly dependent on a generational QB. So in that sense both sports are the same. 

The thing that Cuban realized after 2011 is that the Mavs are just another franchise.  They could very well be playing in Idaho. Other than the local fan base no one cares about them. Jerruh and his progeny can screw it up for another two decades. The Cowboys will still be a legendary franchise and you can go to some remote part of the world and you will find someone who has heard of the Dallas Cowboys.  That’s the part Nico and Dumont have not realized yet.  This franchise can fall off the relevancy map in a nanosecond and just having a really solid, maybe even contending, team is not going to get that relevancy. How many casual fans care about the Cavs or OKC?  It is what it is. The moment Dumont makes peace with that he won’t make a blunder like this one ever again where he lets a generational star slip out just because he feels that player might never get him a title.

I don’t know. It’s important, but Hurts is merely a borderline all star in NBA terms and Purdy is a quality role player, and they’ve QB’ed relevant teams. Dak is a slightly above average starter, and he’s even good enough with the right supporting cast to win big. But agree that the Cowboys don’t have to win that much to stay relevant. One thing for sure, I never thought I’d be counting on the Cowboys for a professional sports fix. Thought it would be the other way around, with the Mavs compensating for a bad football team. Probably, my sports fandom is gong to be wholly reliant on Sark and the Horns for quite some time with a little bit of rooting for Luka to vindicate himself thrown in.
