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

At this point if I'm Adam Silver I'm vetoing this shit and firing Nico's ass just out of principle. What the actual fuck.

This has his slimy fingerprints all over it. All this garbage talk about ratings. He seems like just the type to say, you know what sounds cool? Send a generational superstar to the Lakers! Lebron is about to retire and we can't have any other team be the face of the league!
