People have to realize accountability is not common. Someone seen an opportunity to use him as the reason and with that being his job and what he signed up for he went with it… this is a business… and businesses want more money… it may not seem like it but i promise their bottom line will be looking totally different in the next 5 to ten years…
if he wanted to be like then you don’t trade the most popular player. if you think defense wins championships then surround your franchise player with defensive players. either the owners wanted this done or he’s not a competent GM.
Even if it was an owner's decision how much push back did he give them on it? A good GM would have said that's batshit crazy don't do it, we went to the finals last year with Luka and AD is an injury prone 32 year old player. If it wasn't his choice Nico doesn't seem like the type of dude to swim against the current.
Man I’m sick of these TV guys that have known Nico for a long time not calling him on his crap. It was stupid. He should be fired but they refuse to just say it. Anyone else would get it from them.
That’s a message that applies to all of us. When I turned 30 I had to make life changing decisions in order to achieve my goals and I realized I spent all the years til then focusing on the wrong things like trying to please others and be liked by everyone, once I changed my mindset I had a different perspective and I stopped focusing on shit out of my control, im 32 now and just in the 2yrs life has been so peaceful, I’ve accomplished alot and prospering more than I could imagined, I do what I need for myself and family no longer caring about being liked and it’s an amazing feeling.
Fire the guy who turned Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie (who we ended up getting back, by the way) into KYRIE IRVING?! Fire the guy who flipped Grant Williams—a player Luka clearly couldn’t stand—into PJ Washington? Fire the one who saw Daniel Gafford’s potential and went out and got him? Yeah, let’s go ahead and fire the real reason we even made it to the Finals. That makes so much sense. Newsflash: the reason the Mavs struggled was injuries—I repeat, injuries—including Luka’s. But sure, blame the architect instead of the circumstances. Go figure.
It's been obvious since the day Luka was traded that the decision to trade Luka came from the top. I've never believed that Nico personally wanted to trade Luka, you don't get a GM job by being a dummy. He was put in the position of pretending this was his idea bcuz owner's pay GM's 7 figures so they'll take the heat for ownerships dumbassery. It's obvious the owners wanted Luka traded bcuz they didn't wanna give him that super max deal… how shortsighted of them
1. It may not be that he wants to be liked, but rather he does not want to be universally hated. 2. The owners will not have his back. There is a reason they are making him the scapegoat.
Personally there was a time when a team with AD and Kyrie could win a chip but the role players really gotta cook. If Nico wants this to work out he gotta grind
Hey 4 Musketeers? Let's go back to why Rico Sauvey traded Luka? Dallas and Rico? Luka likes beer and Hooka? So what? 90% of players like strip clubs and partying? Luka is ALL NBA 5 YEARS IN A ROW. THE OTHER PLAYERS NEVER HAVE BEEN MVP OF THERE HIGH SCHOOL TEAM? GETTHEF*CKOUTOFHERE. RICO WILL BE WITHOUT A JOB NEXT YEAR.😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢BYE! BYE! RICO😮😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
He has no problem. I really don’t see how they will get a chip with Luka and Kyrie playing together. Fancy offense and poor defense. Both players need defensive support on the floor. I think he made a best bet to get a chip. Just it doesn’t turn out that way.

He did what he was told to do

He's a dumb a-hole plain and simple

This was still the worst trade since ever.
Same as the bulls GM in the late 90s
Imagine if Tom Brady got traded to Tampa Bay. Instead of what actually happened
He did what lebron and adam silver toldnhim to do

HE TIRED OF ALL THE BACKLASH
That is a terrible take, Shaq lol
Great advice by diesel
I hope shaq uses CPAP. I'm very concerned about his well being. ⏰️ ticking

That’s what Mavs fans don’t get 😂 thinking he can just make a trade without the owner’s knowledge and approval. That Texas education 👌🏼 lmaooo

He just listening to what the higher ups said to do, if he didn’t then there’ll be black Tahoe’s going after him and his family 💀
the whole organization

It’s not his fault. It’s the leadership that pulled the plug on Luka. He’s just the fall guy.
1. It may not be that he wants to be liked, but rather he does not want to be universally hated. 2. The owners will not have his back. There is a reason they are making him the scapegoat.
The problem was that he didnt get 5 first round picks in the trade package so the Mavs doesnt have a future
Yea this is true, after this trade he knows he can be lliked.
Oops I accidentally switch the l’s and the k in the last word up there 👆🏽
Krause brought 6 rings to Chicago and they boo'd his wife. You're never gonna be liked
People dont realize mark cuban did have a say in all of this

Shaq with a bad take, as usual. How does he want to be liked?
FIRE NICO!!!!!!
Niko klutch sports
Um shaq he doesnt care about being liked lol thats why he traded luka.
Not a Mavs fan, so my comment is more about Nico not getting enough in the trade for Luka. They should've gotten a boat load of players or picks.
If AD eats fast food every day in the off season and shows up at training camp 30 lbs overweight, that would be pretty funny.
..the fact that they talk about Nico rather than the players, is the problem itself. 😂
Nico is doing his job he just a scapegoat for the new ownership
Shaq and Chuck will always tell the truth 🤝🏿👌🏿🤝🏿

That's exactly what he said, Shaq, that he's just doing his job.
If you fat shame a superstar, it's too late to be liked
He has no problem. I really don’t see how they will get a chip with Luka and Kyrie playing together. Fancy offense and poor defense. Both players need defensive support on the floor. I think he made a best bet to get a chip. Just it doesn’t turn out that way.
