What could be worse? World War III? A nuclear bomb to Dallas?
People wanted Donnie and Cuban outta here and they got their wish.
Be careful what you wish for. They wouldn't even thought about trading a top 3 player for anyone.
Trading Luka reminds me of when we traded Kidd but i think the fallout from this will be even worse.
God the thought of the 90s again is so damn sickening right now and to think ownership and management is worse so any rebuild strategy and effort has about a zero chance of being successful.
How did Nico end up getting hired, never having worked in an NBA front office? Because he could sign NBA stars to shoe deals, he can evaluate talent and build rosters?
I guess Nelson wore out his welcome too but he didn’t tear down the franchise, which is what this trade may end up being.
Because Cuban likes to think he's like Elon Musk and has the need to revolutionize everything. Cuban is the type of guy who feels like he's a rebel. Goes to meetings in shirts and jeans and thinks he's the coolest guy in the room. So here he is hiring someone totally new to the game thinking he's going to hit it out of the park by reinventing the wheel.
Although I'm pretty sure there is some truth to Luka being hard to manage. Carlisle leaving the team, Luka causing friction. I'm sure there is something there that won't get out in the open. In Nico's mind, it's probably trading your one way Euro star for a 2 way american star. Albeit 6 years older but the headache is way less, so that covered the difference in his mind. I'm sure there are a lot more options you consider before arriving with the decision of just trading Luka. The guy just walked straight to that option probably without batting an eyelash. God damn.
