Yeah, so the Mavericks have this afternoon game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is, you know, like 12 hours after the Luca trade actually happens. You know, Jason Kidd is going to talk like an hour and a half before the game, and Nico Harrison joins him, and he talks to the media that was there in Cleveland. Just a weird mood. You know, I...

Man, I mean, you know, Nico said at the time, hey, he seemed to confirm, at least that was my reading of it, the only team he talked to was Los Angeles Lakers. I think our colleagues at The Athletic have since reported that there was, you know, at least one other team he talked to. Right, right.

he also talked about, you know, meeting with Rob Belinka, um, you know, about three, four weeks before the trade went through and kind of how that happened. They, you know, the Lakers were in town playing the Mavericks and they, they met at a coffee shop and, and Nico said, Hey, look, you know, what, what would you think about this? Um,

And, you know, it was kind of kept between Rob Lincoln, Jeannie Boss and and Nico Harrison and Patrick Dumas. You know, I think there are probably a few others who knew about it. I mean, I thought one of the more telling comments was Nico Harrison to Patrick Dumas. The Mavericks governor laughed when he was first presented with the trade scenario.

I mean, imagine taking a potential trade to your to your owner and the owner laughing.

Yeah, Patrick Dumont, who's Maverick's governor, Miriam Ollison's son-in-law. He did an interview with the Dallas Morning News. And he basically said, yeah, we don't want guys here who are going to go on vacation. He used the word vacation in that interview. He talked about great players with... His take was that these guys had an incredible work ethic. One of those guys was Shaquille O'Neal.

That was kind of interesting. Here was my reading of what Patrick Dumont said. I think he was publicly trying to show he was in lockstep with Nico Harrison. And my read on the situation is that Patrick Dumont trusts his basketball people to make decisions. Patrick Dumont is just not going to meddle. And the context here is,

The two trade deadlines before this one, Nico Harrison made moves where publicly I don't know that they had 100 percent approval rating. Right. He traded for Kyrie Irving two years ago. The public opinion at the time was like Kyrie Irving. I mean, you know, his his stint with the Brooklyn Nets was a disaster. This will never work out. And that actually worked out last year.
