Like how could the Mavs not get Knecht? Mavs robbed themselves!

Nico Harrison somehow managed to turn :
Luka + Porzingis + Brunson ... into --- 1 future pick, Dinwiddie, AD, Bertans & Christie

Poll for the trolls. Come back in five years and talk about it. There is no grade to give today.

Not really a poll for the trolls. There are grades for trades all the time. ESPN does it for every single trade on their ESPN+ and others do it as well.
In terms of this trade on paper, I'd say an F honestly. Not because AD can't help them now, because if everything clicks and the 2 robins (Kyrie and AD) can make it work, they could very well contend for a championship. But because Nico and the Mavs didn't open it up to a couple other teams to at least use as leverage. Even if your main target was AD, not getting at least another First Round Pick and Reaves/Knecht is why this trade is bad. To compare it to another very recent trade where a team gave away their franchise player, the Kings got 6 picks in total, 3 first round picks and 3 second round picks plus Zach LaVine for Fox. Fox is 27, not 25 like Luka and not in Luka's range of talent.
