The firing is just a temporary coverup for the real incompetence which is the entire organization.
Thanks nico for Luka all the Lakers fans thanks u
How is he doing right by the fans by firing him when the trade is already done . If I recall wasn’t it upper management who didn’t wanna pay the luxury or pay Luka the super max ? Cut it out Nico is the fall guy that’s all gtfoh
I kinda like Stephen As 1st question… Read between the lines
This whole luka thing is mad
Conspiracy theorists maybe right.. 😅
Mavs what a disaster.
Jason Kidd needs to go too. Deer in headlights doesn’t work.
Saying “Nico put his nuts on the line” is crazy 😂
Funny how that racist motherfucker loves a European player all of a sudden. Just saying.
That was the top 5 worst trades ever Nico should have been fired last year
And the owner didn't ok the Luka trade? These people need to stop
Woj we know you’re running NBA Centel😂
9months too late, but atleast Mavs will start to heal now.
The Ownership was in agreement to trade Lucca they didn’t want to pay the Supermax
I still believe to this day the reason Nico traded Luka to the Lakers because Nico is a huge Lakers fan, if anyone were on his place they would also trade the best player in the team to their favorite team too
This is the funniest thing to happen in the nba since I been a fan😂😂 Poor Mavericks fans. Lost their franchise star, for an injury prone big name player😅😊😂😂
Should've just gave that man Luka his money.
Luka and Cooper would have been the duo to bring them a Championship
way too late for the Hero naw..the trade already happened..geez!
Nico is a scapegoat to appease the fans. The man did not make it happen on his own. They simply did not want to pay Luka.
This is all 🐟
The owner should have vetoed the trade
A who is this lady? I can get used to her lol
At long last 😂😂😂
Is he the stupidest idiot in sports history? I am having trouble thinking of anyone more inept than Nico.
Not only the decision is the worst in the history of basketball, what Mavs got in return is just as worse.
And Flagg not even the best rookie 😂
Nico Had to be the scape
Do you think the Owners are going to relinquish their ownership of the Dallas Mavericks?
5:35
Have a look at the timid little squeezer that’s y they got rid of him. No one likes him
Lakers need to trade Lebron now before he returns – from "Sciatica" ….
Watch the lakers hire him, he was clearly a sleeper agent for the lakers!!!!
Man AD fell off, years ago he was meant to be the next face of the NBA
Bout time. One of the biggest boneheaded moves of the era. The first red flag was Nico messing up the Nike presentation that sent Steph Curry to Underarmour. 2 wrongs don’t make a right.
Imagine Brunson, Flagg and Luka with Klay! Man oh man! They could easily just Get Ayton from there.
Nico might as well hit and stay in LA since that is the only place he will be loved and be safe from now on 😅😅
Scape goat! 1:33
To much praise of Luka wait until playoffs I bet Luka folds again
Shams needs a speech therapist. I just can’t with his stutter compared to other personalities
Of course he's not…
I wonder why Stephan A is defending Nico….
I’d like to thank Nico on behalf of Laker Nation. He’s the best executive we’ve had since Jerry West.
Nicole harrison you will be the worst nba general manger since billy king it will be engraved in the history books congratulations you've earned it.
No team will prosper that brings it money from gambling Dallas is doomed as organization.
Good Riddance P.O.S.!
