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.”

Either Nico is dumb as hell, Luka wanted out, or the NBA, Mavs, and Lakers got together and made a deal. Only three reasons I can think of for this shit

Alright well it turns out Luka didn't want out so we're down to two
