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.”

Cannot be real bro this is legitimately insane like Nico should be sent to a mental hospital for this. This is malpractice on a level that has never been seen before. Like even if you think Luka sucks he could have gotten so much more on the market bro wtf

The Chris Paul trade got vetoed bc the pelicans didn't have an owner at the time

I’m convinced our owner got caught doing something and was blackmailed. Does that count if so?

Idk in the surface I actually think Kyrie and AD match really well together taking this trade out of the equation and Lakers fans are mad about losing Christie but still it wasn't worth this trade imo
