Nico made the trade for personal reasons and not for the good of the organization. It wreaks of a guy who made the trade about himself, wanted that attention and to be the center of the sports world. He'll forever be known for this trade. Be careful what you wish for. Not condoning death threats obviously but he knew there would be backlash when he made the trade and seemed almost happy with it during the first press conference. Notice he wasn't there for the AD introductory press conference tho. It's sinking in what he did and I'd bet deep down he knows now that he fked up. He fell in love with his own idea so much he lost all common sense.

The NBA landscape has shifted immensely and will be drastically different for the next 15 years because of one man's hubris.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Luka and Mark Williams for AD and Knecht is highway robbery that no other franchise would ever be gifted. I hope that team flies into the Bermuda triangle.

Technically Kobe wasn't a Laker when his tragedy occurred. I don't really want them to crash, just disappear.

Looks like he re-aggravated the abdominal strain he sustained a couple of weeks ago.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

I guess if all other teams get injured and we’re healthy, we might have a chance.
