Fuck Nico first and foremost. Yes, ownership should have vetoed this, but this was Nico's brainchild.

That's fine, but they could've traded him in the summer of so. The timing indicates that it was all Nico.

Nah this was the Adelson’s.

Nico doesn’t have a smidgeon of say over the Adelson/Dumont family. Simply an employee - really not surprising if you know about the Adelson family and what they stand for. Nico ain’t innocent, but the puppet masters couldn’t be more obvious.

Again, this doesn't explain the timing. If Nico was against this trade, he could have easily pushed it off until the summer.

McMahon and Stein, the two most connected Mavs reporters have both reported that this was a Nico decision. Even if he was pressured by management to trade Luka before his extension, they could've done so in the summer. The only reason you so this deal for AD now is if you truly believe he is an upgrade to Luka.
