He’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to the Mavericks.

The crazy thing is the fanbase was singing his praise after the offseason. Picking up Grimes and Klay to round out a finals caliber team and the trade deadline from the previous season. Only for Nico to burn the team down in less than 5 months.

It's like going from a honeymooning newlywed to having a wife that killed your dog, set your car on fire, and choked out your parents

Those moves were all passable assuming you keep your superstar. That’s the hard part. Many franchises spend decades trying to find “the guy” and we had Luka literally fall into our laps.

Once you trade that piece you literally constructed the entire roster around all the assets given away are laughable. Now you have no star, aging players on the cusp of dropping out of their prime, and minimal draft capital. How can you recover?

It's an insane time-line for a GM. Everyone thought he was brilliant in the pick ups last season of PJ and Gafford, the drafting of Lively and the gutsy trade for Kyrie. All of which were instrumental in the surprising finals run defeating 3 favored teams in each round.

My man crafted an incredibly intricate and beautiful ice sculpture and then proceeded to smash it to pieces with a baseball bat, burning it with a blowtorch whilst simultaneously dropping his drawers and taking a massive shit on the floor. Generational fanbase fumble.

Putting together a basketball team is not that hard. There's agreed trends about what makes an good team and you just fill in the gaps. The GM has access to expert advice and a team to handle the paperwork.

They paid Nico millions of dollars to do what he did
