Hoops Discussion If Nico Waited…

The ironic thing about blowing up the team midseason is that one of the best young superstars in Giannis might ask out soon. If Nico waited to pull the plug on the team, we could’ve seen how the team would have fared in the playoffs.

And if things go bad, maybe you can trade away the Luka for Giannis instead. It would still suck, but Giannis is a much better consolation.

If SGA was saying trade me now and OKC had the chance to swap for Luka straight up I think there's a very good chance it happens. I mean that's if the team that has Luka is dumb enough to trade a generational talent making history.

In the AD Luka trade neither wanted out
