Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[F Gump]

As bad as things are, I really feel if they were to just make the obvious move and fire Nico, everyone would breathe a sigh of relief and have some hope again.

True.

Unfortunately, Nico has somehow persuaded Dumont [apparently an even stupider human than Nico, as impossible as that seems] that the Luka trade was all Dumont's doing -- so no blame can be laid on Nico if it looks abysmal or if AD is not a star or the Mavs don't win big or it becomes apparent that the value obtained for Luka was pathetic. So I'm not sure how we get from here to there (Nico being fired), sad to say. Ugh
