Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[F Gump]

From Marc stein


Giving in to such calls isn't going to bring Doncic back ...

Stein, bless his heart, isn't asking the right questions. Or looking at things through the right lens.

Yes, it's true that firing Nico won't get Luka back. BUT -- it will keep Nico from doing the next bonehead move that sets the team back even further. Having Nico in charge is scary and offers no reason to believe they will ever be good again, as he squanders assets and has no clue how to get more.

What the Mavs desperately need is to fire Nico and get a skilled GM who is an expert in player evaluation and negotiation, to guide the roster rebuild going forward. Nico lacks the skills and is definitely NOT that guy. The longer Nico is here, they are just wasting time and possible opportunity. They need an expert, not a scrub.
