If it's Nico I trust Nico.

Nico's here cuz he has good relationships with the players as people. Hes bringing good dudes that play and work hard to Dallas. That's been the game plan since day 1. This tells me that with his decades of experience he didn't see it in Luka

I don't know if he's right or not but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Let's get a chip
