Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[Chicagojk]

They've dug into the Luka situation ad nauseam, but what the hell happened with Grimes?  Guy is averaging like 27 ppg since the trade.  Even if you might lose him this summer, he is a RFA.  You leverage that status to get more back than Martin and giving up a second.  To me, that's the cherry on top of this terrible GMing thing.

I have no problem with a team thinking Martin is the better win now option for some teams.  The issue was he was much more hurt than they thought.    That is a big blunder.

More importantly, I have no idea how a competant GM could look at this team and think they had enough shooting and ball creation to be a contender.  That makes absolutely no sense.   I think for sure they needed a good wing defender, but the lack of shooting and creation is just so obvious.  I can't believe they thought this team healthy had enough of either.
