Nico Harrison was right.
- Thread starter The Wall Brother
- Start date
Talent wise no, but the fact that this trade just absolutely destroyed a fan base half a year after making it to the finals and when the franchise’s greatest player is showing to to Lakers games because the trade pissed him off, I’d give this the nod.

An incredibly dumb trade that we can already see changing the landscape and history of the NBA.
i still cant believe they didn't at least get austin reeves
and then doing that stupid quentin grimes for cody martin i think it was trade
Guys like luka are one in a lifetime. You fire your whole front office and install his dad as coach if that's what it takes to make him happy

Every trade of this magnitude has to be run by ownership. I don’t even know why this is being put forth as an argument.
They did buy into what Nico was telling them, because they’re completely clueless about hoops. The fact he’s still employed either suggests they’re still under his spell, or they’re saving face. They’re fighting on the lie of it being a worthwhile trade because if they were to just fire him as a knee jerk reaction, they’d essentially be admitting they made arguably the biggest mistake in modern NBA history.
With all that said, Nico’s on borrowed time (stumbling upon the #1 pick bought him a lil more).
If Nico was fired after the fan blowback, the dumbass owners would look even more stupid than they already do. They’re not protecting Nico, they’re protecting themselves from embarrassment.If it was a unilateral decision, Nico woulda been fired after the fan blowback and drop in ticket sales. Why the fukk would billionaires protect NicoPeople are delusional.
Like I said to the other dude - they’re fighting on that lie. Once they deem it’s a complete lost cause, Nico will be out of there.
I wish some of y’all would think things through before running up in here acting like you know what you’re talking about.

Clippers didn't know SGA was going to be as good as he's become.
Luka was already an established generational player about to hit his prime. This trade is contender for the dumbest trade in NBA history.

It was so bizarre that we all thought whoever reported it was hacked. Trading a generational player who just took your team to the Finals and was only 25 years old. It's fukking absurd. I can't stand the Lakers. This dumb shyt only happens to them.

For the people who think it's not the worst trade in NBA history. Ask yourself if the Mavs offered AD, Max Christie and a 1st for Luka today would the Lakers say yes. If the answer is no, then well
I know AD is hurt currently but for hypothetical reasons say he's healthy.

Why are people ignoring the fact that the trade was Luka for AD and the first pick in the draft 
Again, maybe you think it doesn’t change the calculus, but we shouldn’t delude ourselves into thinking Mavs lucked into the 1st pick.

You could throw Flagg into the mix and the Lakers would still say no.
