Happy we kept our guys and didn’t panic. We obviously went from right at the top to a tier below, but let’s see if Thibs can stagger minutes and give us that Nuggets look after the Melo trade with two different units.
Feel good about not panicking and losing our assets.
In agreement here. For the Bucks and Celtics it remains to be seen. I make no definitive statements, and I understand the "go for it" sentiment of these two teams - but taking on highly paid and aging Lillard and Jrue (to go with perpetually breaking down KP) while giving up significant assets and cap space and in the Celtics' case a lot of their depth could backfire.
I too am again tickled our FO hasn't panicked made this type of move. Not predicting but I certainly don't see it as impossible that Bucks and Celts get a little burned here and with Knicks younguns taking steps and current depth we sneak ahead. Just sayin'.
