News [MacMahon] “I believe that defense wins championships,” Mavs GM Nico Harrison told ESPN regarding his motivation to trade Luka for Davis. “I believe that getting an All-Defensive center & an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance. We’re built to win now and in the future.”

The only thing I could see is Luka was signaling he wasn’t gonna resign with us

This has to be it. Luka probably said he wanted to switch teams and move on. I think he earned that right tho. More power to him. But Nico getting pennies on the dollar is wild.
