I think for the next decade.
Kyrie is 33, injury prone and is already out for another season. He won't be back until he is 34.
AD is 32, injury prone and slowly declining.
They traded away a bunch of their future draft picks.
The Mavericks are basically betting everything on a 35 year old Kyrie and a 34 year old AD to lead them to a chip in the 2027-2028 season, lol, it's nuts.

Nico being a bad GM is honestly less surprising than him being bad at marketing. As you said you'd figure a guy who came out of the Nike world would understand that some players are inherently highly marketable and provide significant financial value.
It seems like he doesn't grasp this at all.

This this this.
This should be his wheelhouse. Making a basketball evaluation mistake? Yeah, easy to see. Not understanding the monetary value of Luka freaking Doncic after a career at Nike? Feels nearly impossible yet here we are.

I've never wanted to punch someone in the face so badly. Really hoping to run into him at a game one day. I won't hesitate.
Slot Machine wrote:Everybody should read that Tim McMahon article that was posted today regarding the Luka trade/internal Mavs organizational dynamics. Very revealing and essentially shows it was an ego/power play by Nico.
Nico seems like a truly incompetent moron. I guess sometimes it is that simple.

Every time he talks about it, another chapter gets added to his legacy. A story will be made out of this one day, and he will get paid. Any attention is good attention these days.

Taking it a little out of context but could had been better choice of words.
What do people expect him to say? "It may look like a bad trade right now but consider we get Cooper Flagg from the league office with Davis. This organization is set for the present and future"
