    It’s weird because I can’t imagine he traded Luka without the new owners approval so I’m guessing they underestimated the blowback and are now trying to win back the fan base with this move.

    Have to imagine Nico would expect a golden parachute for that since I can’t see him getting another role in the league after that whether ownership pushed for it or not.

    They are so lucky they got Flagg, anything less and I think they would’ve lost even more fans.

      I think either the owner wanted to trade Luka because they don’t understand that NBA players aren’t normal employees. Or there’s some frozen envelope level shit going on here.

      You gotta be a real dumb s.o.b to make that trade for basketball reasons lol

        Yeah them getting Flagg immediately after was pretty sus especially since they didn’t even reach out to other teams
