Can the "Mavs sent Luka to the Lakers" conspiracy bullshit die now once and for all?

[QUOTE=FultzNationRISE;15042341]It's simply not a trade any GM would propose to an owner.

"Let's trade our incredibly popular perennial MVP candidate phenom, the identity of our franchise just entering his prime, to get the remainder of Anthony Davis' career in his 30s."

I dont care how competent someone is, people still have self preservation instincts. You wouldnt even propose that out loud to an owner if you did believe it. It would be overtly asking your boss to never take you seriously again.[/QUOTE]

That's really the part that confuses me. You think anyone in his position would even dare propose this to the ownership?

I don't think they put a gun to his head and forced him to do it, but the owner definitely played a part in trading Luka. All the other shit that comes out after is just damage control as if Nico was a moron who was acting alone and no one could stop him. They were in trade talks for weeks right, so Kidd and the owner 100% were involved in making this stupid decision.

Let's assume that's true. It still doesn't explain whatsoever why they didn't open up the bidding and get a better haul. If the owner just simply said "trade him immediately for the first offer you get" that would make sense but there's almost zero ****ing chance that happened.

Hell they could have gotten a better deal from the Lakers, never mind everyone else.

Nico is a retard. You are over-analyzing it.

Of course he is, but this wasn't a solo mission. As for why they did this privately, maybe their dumb asses thought that Luka would then force his way to a certain destination and they'd get even less than they did? They wanted AD and were scared Luka wouldn't choose LA? Who knows. There's no grand conspiracy here, but I find it interesting how they wait this long to fire him and then we hear about what a moron he was as if no one else was involved or didn't have the power to stop him.

Conspiracy Bull$hit die now?

WTF kind of stupid dumbass thread is this? As if Nico getting fired is like some sort of proof that there wasn't a conspiracy?


Is that what we are doing in this thread?


So all the Mavs (and the NBA) had to do was fire Nico to dissolve all conspiracy suspicion? That's basically what we're proclaiming in this thread?
