This is the right decision yes. Nico should have been fired on the spot for thinking that trade. But things will get a lot worse due to the firing this season. And eventually then better. I dont see AD able to accomodated on this roster with the firing of Nico. He is completely linked to Nicos decision in this roster construction.
Give them all truth serum and they'd tell you the Luka trade was a mistake. Same for anyone on the team. I'm not even sure they'd need truth Serum. I'm not sure why you'd lump Flagg in that group as he wasn't part of the trade. I'm also not overly concerned what they think, but I can take a guess at their mindset:
-AD probably wants out as it is a no win situation for him and he'll always be linked to an all-time bad trade.
-Christie is probably happy he has a bigger role and is playing well.
-Flagg is probably busy trying to adjust to the NBA. He'll also get all the love in the world from Mavs fans.
Most players know this is a business as most of our best players didn't start their careers with us and most of the ones who did, witnessed Luka getting traded which sends a pretty clear message that anyone can get traded.
