    One of my favorite nuggets from yesterday’s odd interview w Nico Harrison was a question asked by @newyscruggs He asked Nico if he could point to a time in history that a team sacrificed offense in favor of defense and it paid off for a championship. Nico couldn’t do it.

    Nico Harrison finally spoke about the Luka trade—behind closed doors, under stringent rules, and with palpable tension. I was in the room. It was a bit awkward. Here's everything you need to know about what went down in those 57 minutes at the AAC:

    I sat down with Bob Bowlsby last week to talk college football and he revealed which schools he rejected for a Big 12 expansion, threw major shade at the ACC, provided an outlook at the 12-team playoff, and much more. Here are some highlights (a thread)

    Nico’s exact quote: “Clearly we knew afterwards [Luka’s] impact on the city. But I do think our intended roster we would have put on the floor would have subsided a lot of the fan base vitriol.”

    The Mavs held a private press conference today to address the Luka trade and we talked to Ben Swanger from D Magazine who was in attendance "It stuck out to me that Nico said it was after the trade that he fully realized just how much Luka meant to this city" - @Rbi_Ben
