He should have leaked this to Luka and Stein/MacMahon to sabotage the whole trade. I´m sorry. That is weak sauce. He goes to Luka and says listen this dumb mofo wants to trade you. Talk to Cuban. Talk to Duffy. Talk to Dumont personally. We all got your back. You can´t tell me Nico could have pushed this through, if 99% internally speak out against it, including the part-owner.
The discussions could have been as short as:
Nico: What do you think about trading Luka for a different star?
Finley: "Are you smoking crack?"
*2 months passes*
"The Dallas Mavericks are trading Luka"
Nico had a goal and wouldn't have been deterred. I don't think he actually discussed this with anyone of note, besides Dumbont. Because if he did, this trade would have 100% been leaked.
