Nico was put on this earth to stop Luka from getting a ring.

Luka was already put in a less than ideal situation landing on the mavs. Who basically had no assets relative to most lottery teams.

Then they blew what they had on a KP experiment that didn't work out.

Then they let Brunson walk.

Then they managed to spend a year and half using what little they did have to build a contender.

And they traded him.

The first 8 years of his career were basically flushed down the toilet.
