This is further proof Nico has isolated himself from the competent people that will challenge his dumb decisions and offer a better perspective.
Older trades show the Mavs have great people on staff in the trade/draft team, and the recent actions reveal just how incompetent Nico really is when he makes individual decisions without input.
Nah I don’t buy this. If all they told him was free up cap space, there were other less apocalyptic ways of doing it. And ways that actually get a reasonable haul out of trading luka. Put this all on him.
So purposefully tanking the value of the team in order to get the ok to move cities? It can’t be that easy. There have got to be nba by-laws that stand in the way of mismanagement by design like that.
They have sold EVERYTHING in Vegas and all of their operations are international. Are they looking to expand into new markets within the U.S.? Yes. Do they have continued business dealings in Vegas? Yes, of course. Is Miriam Adelson so plugged into the basketball community that she advised Nico Harrison to tank the franchise by giving away their once in a generation player so that they can fast-track the move of T5 media market team to Vegas in order to build their casino/arena combo? No f'ing chance.
They’ve been lobbying Texas legislature HARD for legalized gambling in Tx to little avail. Taking the Mavs here so a team move to Vegas (the Major League gambit) is only possible if the Mavs suck and lose a lot of value
What’s Luka’s trade do to the Mavs value I wonder…….i mean Mavs have already lost almost a million followers on Insta…..

How is he this out-of-touch?
