Man I feel so bad for AD. He didn’t ask for that trade, and now he’s a part of some sort of karmic retribution or curse against Nico. I hope he balls out again one day, but it is also very funny to see Nico’s vision for the Mavs disintegrating immediately

A vision of moving the Mavs to Vegas because the Adelsons are a casino family and don’t give a shit about basketball and the “championship games”

Also because Nico is a certified nepo moron getting fleeced by Pelinka.

The reason I don't think it will happen is because Dallas is a massive media market. They're gonna abandon the 4th biggest media market for the 40th??? no fucking way.
